Open Quote Hi I am a current Student that attends Miller Career And Transition Center and I have to say that it is a over all good school compared to other high school's but don't be fooled by everything you see and hear at the tour because I have had a horrible years threw out my school years elementary/middle school and my middle school found miller because it claimed to be a better environment for me compared to any other high school and when I first started it was grate and I was really liking it but when you get later in the year faults start to happen such as in the work programs some Teachers/staff members tend to say snotty comments and jokes towards the students witch is very unappreciated in my book .. And also there way of helping is very childish such as I had a kid tormenting me and harassing me and has literally punched me and I have told and have said what I have been told by this kid to the adult and then they go off saying that is gossiping like okay I understand that "Gossip" is not the best thing but when your in trouble "Gossip" has no role in it .. And the principle is just as bad I reported it to him and he dose not even bring me into his office to talk to in private incase the kid is around so I can remain anonymous on how he got in trouble and then I act really mature compared to other kids and I have been told by my teacher I act like an "adult" and its highly inappropriate well I understand for somethings but I act a little adultish because I am mature and that is another thing there "Inappropriate" tolerance level there is way to high and is a bit to much to make you feel like you are in preschool or 1st grade .. I am in high school I deserve my student rights and also there rules are not the best such as "other high schools such as El comino and taft etc etc. Allow students to use there cell phones at lunch and nutrition and at miller you can't witch I find very un reasonable due to the fact we should have the right as young adults and at "careers people use there phones so I don't see the big deal to use it on our break time .. I am not saying the school is bad but literally there are a few changes that need to be made.. And I personally do not appreciate being called a "Drama queen" or "Dramatic" or "Annoying" when I go to an adult for help that is highly inappropriate for them to do towards us students and then they say I am inappropriate well they should think and remember they are the role models and what ever they do we basically reflect so yea .. This concludes my review..

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
