Summary

George B. Miller Elementary serves 502 students in grades K–6 in La Palma, a Southern California community with several nearby elementary-school options. In 2025–2026, Miller scored above California’s proficiency levels in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but its local comparisons are more mixed. The most important takeaway is that science is its clearest relative weakness: Miller ranked seventh of 11 nearby schools in science, and its 44% proficiency rate was 9 points below their average.

Miller’s strongest comparison is math against the state: 57% of students were proficient, 18 points above the state rate, though 1 point below the Centralia Elementary district. ELA was 60% proficient—3 points above the district and 11 above the state—while science was 44%, 5 points below the district but 8 above the state. Among nearby schools, Miller ranked fifth of 11 in both ELA and math; its scores were 1 point below the nearby average in ELA and 4 points below in math. Grade-level results point to a specific math dip: fifth graders scored 49%, below the district’s 55%, although still above the state. Fourth-grade ELA was also a relative low, at 54%, 4 points below the district.

Results have softened in ELA and math since 2022–2023, falling 4 and 3 percentage points respectively. Science rose overall by 3 points across that period, but dropped 11 points from its 2024–2025 result. Meanwhile, chronic absenteeism improved from 21% to 8%, below the latest district and state rates. SchoolDigger gives Miller 4 stars and a statewide ranking at the 78th percentile in 2025–2026; the district also has 4 stars and ranks at the 75th percentile. Miller’s student–teacher ratio was 23.7 in 2024–2025, and 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. A notable subgroup difference appears in SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 effectiveness rankings: Miller ranked at the 28th percentile for White students, compared with the schoolwide 82nd percentile, and at the 50th percentile for special education students.
