Summary:
Miller Creek Elementary School District in San Rafael, California, contains one middle school, Miller Creek Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in a consistently high-performing educational environment.
Miller Creek Middle is a standout school, ranking in the 88th percentile among all California middle schools. It significantly outperforms state averages in core subjects, with 68% of students proficient in English and 58% in Math. The school is well-resourced, with a moderate student-teacher ratio and per-student spending that supports its strong academic profile. However, a review of test scores shows a common middle school trend where student proficiency in both English and Math tends to decline from 6th to 8th grade, highlighting an area for continued focus.
When compared to the broader Miller Creek Elementary district, the school's academic performance in English and Math is closely aligned. Its main opportunities for improvement are in science, where proficiency, though above the state average, is below the district average, and in chronic absenteeism. The school's absenteeism rate, while better than California's average, is notably higher than the district's, which is an important factor for the school community to address to support all students.
