Millington Middle School

Millington Middle School, like most all Millington schools now, is on a slow but steady downward spiral. Moreso, however, than the elementary schools and high school, Millington Middle suffers from an administration that is out of touch not only with its students and their parents, but also with Millington as an entire community. I can only imagine the way the administration and teachers(with exceptions) treat the students after having experienced their authoritative and condescending stance toward me. Its common for people to just suffer through these three years, but this period is a critical time for students looking toward high school. I regret not sending my two sons to a better middle school so that they might have been better preparedor at least treated with more respect. MMS' only saving grace is that it is marginally better than its counterpart, Woodstock. I would have to advise other parents to consider private school before either of Millington's middle schools. Perhaps if Millington gains control of its own schools through the merger, there will be positives changes that might bring back the community feel that has been lost completely.

This school used to be good. Finally my first child is out, however my younger one is starting this year. Another three years of careless teachers and a rude principal. I do have to say parent involvement is better than other schools ive seen, but it is way overshadowed by the negatives of this school.When is the county going to open their eyes? How much longer will Millington suffer?

the teachers at millington middle are more focused on the clothes and accessories of the students. they need to put more energy into teaching our children. i've been dealing with this school for 3 yrs. nothing has changed. we need new principal(s) and teachers at millington middle.we need people who really want to teach our children and not dictate them.

The principal and teacher quality ruins this school. The school building itself is in bad disrepair and is overcrowded, from what my son says. Recieves the rear end of the budget- Millington schools do, and this school makes no effort whatsoever to hide it. I would never recommend this school to anyone.

Millington middle is really acceptable to most students. It is very safe and well educated. Although teachers take things to the extreme sometimes and are wrong, but are ashamed to admit it i agree with them most times. Im goung to the 7th grade so i have a few more years there i expect it to stay the same and not get worse. The council should let students take vote in more activities though. Oh yeah, one more thing, what is up with the 'uniforms'! although we are luckier than other schools with real uniforms.

MMS has improved greatly over the last three years. My daughter is happy and I have come to the school on several occasions to participate in meaningful afterschool activities. The school is clean and safe.

My child is in the 6th grade at MMS. I would never recommend this school. The principal and staff do not provide a safe environment for the children at this school. The education is not sufficient at all. The advanced are not challenged. There aren't a lot of programs available. It is something one survives until they can move, but not something a parent would want for their child.

Please, do not even think of enrolling your child in this school. I agree with the the other parents about the new principal- rude and, even as a parent, I find him to be just downright mean.

Millington Middle is a terrible school. Many parents do not agree with the new principal and I can say I do not either. The teachers are not teaching my son anything, his teacher sleeps in class
