Summary:
Millington, Tennessee (ZIP 38053) is home to two middle schools serving grades 4 through 8: Millington Intermediate School (grades 4–6) and Woodstock Middle School (grades 6–8), which belong to Millington Municipal Schools and Memphis-Shelby County Schools, respectively. These schools offer different grade configurations, with 6th grade being the only grade where they directly overlap.
Millington Intermediate School is clearly the stronger academic performer in this area. Its proficiency rates are substantially higher than Woodstock Middle School's in math (37.2% vs. 16.4%), ELA (38.4% vs. 13.4%), and science (43.9% vs. 27.0%), while the two schools are nearly tied in social studies (35.1% vs. 35.8%). At the shared 6th-grade level, Millington outperforms Woodstock by 11.6 to 24.9 percentage points across all four subjects. Millington's scores are within a few points of state averages in ELA and science, while Woodstock trails the state by roughly 20–27 points in those core subjects. Millington also outperforms its own district in most subjects, though both districts rank in the bottom 16 percent of Tennessee districts.
Woodstock Middle School, however, stands out for its exceptional attendance: a chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.2%, far below Millington Intermediate School's 15.5%, its district's 30.2%, and the state's 18.3%. Woodstock also shows positive momentum, improving in ELA, science, and social studies year-over-year, while Millington declined in all four subjects. Notably, Woodstock spends more per student ($16,356 vs. $14,103) yet posts lower scores in most subjects, suggesting spending alone doesn't determine outcomes. For parents, Millington Intermediate School offers the stronger academics, while Woodstock Middle School offers better attendance and encouraging improvement trends worth watching.
