For nearly two decades, the educators at this Title-1 school have successfully empowered students to learn at high levels using well-researched instructional practices, and student performance is above the state average in math, reading, and science. McMillan Elementary School's mascot, the eagle, inspires kids to be kind, diligent in their work and strive to achieve. McMillan Elementary's 230 acre campus offers a wide range of resources for young learners, including modern classrooms, a gymnasium, a cafeteria, a library, two playgrounds and an expansive recreation field. The school's comprehensive language immersion program ensures students have ample opportunity to achieve bilingual fluency and cultural diversity is embraced in each day's lessons.

A dedicated teaching staff goes above and beyond to communicate and support every child that comes through the McMillan Elementary's doors.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
