Millington Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Millington Intermediate School serves 537 students in grades 4–6 in Millington, Tennessee, and sits within the Millington Municipal Schools district — a district currently ranked in the 16th percentile statewide. The school's academic profile is a mixed bag: it outperforms its own district averages in math, ELA, and science, but trails Tennessee state averages in every subject. Social studies is the standout concern, with proficiency rates 16.3 percentage points below the state average and even below the district average — a rare pattern that points to a specific curriculum or instructional weakness rather than a school-wide problem.

One of the most striking patterns is a 4th-to-5th-grade drop-off. Fourth graders at Millington perform close to state averages, but by 5th grade, math proficiency falls to 29.3% — about 18 points below the state average — and ELA drops to 35.2% versus 42.7% statewide. Sixth grade recovers somewhat but still trails the state. On the positive side, chronic absenteeism has improved for four straight years, dropping from 22.2% to 15.5% — now better than both the district and state averages. When compared with nearby schools, Millington sits firmly in the middle: its 6th-grade math proficiency of 35.6% is far ahead of Raleigh Egypt Middle School (5.6%) and Woodstock Middle School (11.6%), but trails Munford Middle School (55.9%) and Bon Lin Middle School (53.4%) by roughly 20 points.

Millington spends $14,103 per student — more than higher-performing neighbors like Munford Middle School ($9,357) and Elmore Park Middle School ($12,116) — yet those schools post stronger test results. Meanwhile, some Memphis-Shelby County Schools spend even more and achieve far less, suggesting that how money is used matters more than the amount. For parents, the bottom line is this: Millington Intermediate is a mid-tier school in a low-ranked district, with real strengths in attendance and the early intermediate grades, but clear opportunities in 5th-grade instruction and social studies. Improving instructional effectiveness, rather than simply increasing funding, appears to be the key challenge ahead.
