SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 21% of California elementary schools

Summary

John and Jacquelyn Miller K-8 serves 697 students in kindergarten through grade 8 in Lancaster, within the Lancaster Elementary district. Its clearest strength is that English and math proficiency are above nearby-school and district averages, but the most important concern is that results in all three tested subjects remain below state rates and have fallen since 2022–2023.

Math is the school’s strongest subject in comparison with the state and nearby schools: 24% of students are proficient, compared with 20% at nearby schools on average and 15% districtwide, though the state rate is 38%. English is also ahead of nearby schools and the district, at 33% versus averages of 27% and 25%, but below the state’s 49%. Science is the weakest comparison: 17% are proficient, about level with the district, below the nearby average of 19%, and well below the state’s 36%. Grade 5 is a particular concern: proficiency is 19% in English and 12% in math, and six of nine nearby schools with comparable results score higher in each subject.

Scores have dropped since 2022–2023: English fell 8 percentage points to 33%, math fell 7 points to 24%, and science fell 7 points to 17%; science did rise from the previous year. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 21st statewide percentile, with one star, compared with the district’s 7th percentile and zero stars. The student-teacher ratio is 25.8 for 2024–2025, toward the high end among nearby schools; 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Hispanic students ranks the group at the 43rd percentile, above the school’s overall standing, but down from the 76th percentile in 2023–2024. Its measure for African American students fell from the 60th to the 15th percentile over the same period.
