Summary

Henry Miller Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 676 students in the Los Banos Unified School District, which faces significant challenges as it ranks in the bottom 18th percentile of all districts in California.

The school is currently underperforming, ranking in the bottom 8% of elementary schools statewide with zero stars, and shows a concerning decline in recent years. Academic proficiency is low, with only about 23% of students meeting standards in English and 14% in math, which is significantly lower than nearby schools like Charleston Elementary and Grasslands Elementary. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with over 27% of students missing too much school, a rate much higher than the district and state averages and more than double the rate at Charleston Elementary.

While the school serves a community with high economic need and spends less per student than several neighboring schools, performance varies widely within the district, suggesting school-level factors are important. For instance, Westside Union Elementary, located less than a mile away, performs in the 49th percentile. Henry Miller has shown some historical strength in supporting English Language Learners, but faces particular difficulties in upper-grade math and in recovering from pandemic-era attendance drops.
