East Millbrook Middle

Summary:

East Millbrook Middle is a public magnet middle school in Raleigh, North Carolina, serving 769 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Wake County Schools district, which is ranked 59 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio, East Millbrook Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of North Carolina middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are significantly lower than the Wake County Schools and North Carolina state averages. Additionally, East Millbrook Middle has a much higher percentage of African American (48.5%) and Hispanic (31.86%) students compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a higher percentage of White students. The school also serves a high-needs population, with 51.69% to 73.21% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years.

The academic underperformance at East Millbrook Middle suggests that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio, such as school culture, resources, and teaching quality, may be contributing to the challenges. The significant racial and socioeconomic disparities between East Millbrook Middle and the nearby magnet schools, such as Moore Square Middle and West Millbrook Middle, which demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, may be indicative of broader inequities in the region. Targeted interventions and support programs focused on addressing these challenges could potentially help improve academic outcomes at East Millbrook Middle.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote It's was a horrible experience for me and my older brother. The reviews that said that east millbrook was good well it's not anymore it used to be good but it's not just drama,fights,swearing,racism,and rude mean people.That school influenced most of my friends to turn into those bad people and it's horrible.yeah education is sort of good but the children there are the worst.If you bring your child there don't whatever means transfer your child or stay away from that school.Because your child will be heartbroken with their feelings destroyed and their self esteem.Your child can become even worse with those students and it's best to do carpool because we have some strict bus drivers or don't even care what happens in the bus.Lots of fights and cursing happens in the bus so make sure to stay away from buses.Teachers can be strict and mad sometimes but they are great teachers and are humorous but it's only the 6th grade teachers that are better and nicer by a little.Yes they have great choices with electives and they say they have a IB learning school but people hardly get good grades in that school.And if you don't want your child to learn all those sexual things early do not let them go to that school.The children there will cause the newcomers from elementary to cry and break their feelings while they lose their sanity and go outburst crazy which will cause a counselor to help and they really don't help or get a consequence form the school.When fights break out students get very violent like throwing each other on the bus or at lockers kicking punching and all that but girls look more violent to me.When there is fights teachers get violent sort of like a teacher grabbed on the girls heads and yanked them apart with shirts ripped up.I knew a school officer used pepper spray on fights too seemed really bad.Whats annoying teachers don't have patience or get really annoyed so they put kids into ASD (after school detention) for no reason or give it to random kids.Plus teachers give a lot of work LIKE A LOT.Teachers always say oh i'm trying to help you are not doing your work ,BUT! they do not know what these students have to go through with these students or outside of school and it's horrible.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
