Summary

Miller Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Salem, Oregon, serving 344 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, which is ranked 110 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, ranging from 68.6% to 75.62% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Miller Elementary's academic performance lags behind both the district and state averages. The school has consistently low test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 29.5% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in ELA and 36.4% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 40.3% and 40.1%, respectively. Additionally, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 47.9%, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Miller Elementary to nearby schools within the same district, the differences become even more pronounced. For example, Morningside Elementary School, located just 3.23 miles away, consistently outperforms Miller in test scores and has a higher statewide ranking. Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $16,996 to $18,792, Miller Elementary has not been able to effectively utilize its resources to improve student outcomes, and its student-teacher ratio remains relatively high, ranging from 18.1 to 20.5 students per teacher.
