Summary

Mcmillan School is a public K–6 elementary school in Murray, Utah, serving 417 students in a suburban community and part of the Murray District. The school ranks 180th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it at the 68th percentile, and received a three-star rating for 2025–26. Its 27.1% free- or reduced-price lunch rate is relatively low compared with several nearby schools, while its student-teacher ratio is 21.9 and chronic absenteeism rate is 17.4%.

Mcmillan School performs above both district and state averages overall. Its latest average proficiency was approximately 50.3% in English Language Arts, 53.5% in mathematics, and 66.0% in science, making science a particularly notable strength. Upper-grade results are strongest: 5th-grade mathematics reached 70.5%, 5th-grade science 71.0%, and 6th-grade science 71.9%. The main concern is 3rd grade, where both ELA and mathematics were 32.1%. This uneven pattern may help explain the drop from 56th statewide in 2024–25 to 180th in 2025–26, although the school’s longer-term record remains generally strong.

Among nearby schools in the Murray District, Viewmont School ranks slightly higher and has a lower student-teacher ratio, but Mcmillan School is competitive or stronger in many 4th- through 6th-grade subjects. It also generally outperforms Grant School, Longview School, Horizon School, Liberty School, and Parkside School in overall ranking. Its attendance rate is another clear advantage: chronic absenteeism is below the district and state rates and lower than nearly all listed nearby schools. Overall, Mcmillan appears to be a solid upper-tier local option, with 3rd-grade achievement the key area to watch.
