Summary

Miller Creek Middle serves 620 students in grades 6–8 in San Rafael, California. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were higher than California’s in English, math, and science, but its scores landed around the middle of the nearby-school group. The key takeaway for families comparing local options is that Miller Creek beats state averages, but is not among the area’s highest-scoring schools.

The school’s strongest comparison is with the state: proficiency was 66% in English, 58% in math, and 48% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. Against its Miller Creek Elementary district, English was 1 point higher, while math was 1 point lower and science 2 points lower. Locally, Miller Creek ranked sixth among 11 schools in each subject. Its English and math scores exceeded nearby averages of 58% and 50%, while science was just below the 49% average. So, despite clear advantages over state results, families will find nearby schools with higher scores.

Recent trends are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math proficiency rose 6 points, while English fell 3 points and science fell 2. The school’s advantage over the state narrowed in English, from 23 points to 17, and science, from 19 to 12; in math it widened from 18 to 20 points. SchoolDigger rated Miller Creek 4 stars and placed it at the 86th statewide percentile, near its recent range of the 85th to 88th percentiles. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 17.6, and 20% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show lower standing for Low Socio Economic Status Students: the group was at the 41st percentile in 2025–26, down from the 69th percentile in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 86th percentile. Hispanic Students ranked at the 57th percentile, also below the overall result.
