Summary

Frank Augustus Miller Middle serves 844 students in grades 7–8 in Riverside, in the Riverside Unified area. In 2025–2026, 68% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 52% in math, and 47% in science. These results were well above district and state rates, and the school’s clearest advantage was ELA. Most importantly, it outperformed all five nearby same-district schools serving the same grades in all three subjects; its results were 23, 23, and 17 percentage points above their averages in ELA, math, and science.

The school’s advantage over state and district results was largest in ELA and smallest, though still positive, in science. ELA proficiency was 18 points above California and 20 above the district; math was 14 and 18 points higher, and science was 11 and 14 points higher. Amelia Earhart Middle was the closest same-district competitor: Frank Augustus Miller led it by 7 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 2 in science. Its science result is therefore a relative strength, but it has the narrowest local lead.

Results improved from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 6 percentage points, math 7, and science 12, though science dipped from 48% in 2024–2025 to 47%. SchoolDigger ranked the school in the 84th percentile statewide and gave it 4 stars in 2025–2026; Amelia Earhart was next at the 79th percentile, also with 4 stars. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 23.6, tied for highest among same-district schools serving grades 7–8, and 57% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking rose from the 69th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 85th in 2025–2026, compared with an overall school ranking that rose from the 81st to the 84th percentile. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 22% in 2021–2022 to 14% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 17% and California’s 18%.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, November 15, 2014

The drop off pick up is ANARCHY at best with parents just dropping off in the turn lane. No One Cares.

Community service they offer/order for their required assignment cost 20 a kid. I go & try to get involved with the PTSA and its 6 dollars a month.
The office people are well trained on how to give the run around for their superiors.

Teachers,most of them, seem to care but there are a couple bully type "Its the rules I dont care what your condition is." Then they try to blame my child for doing what he/she is suppose to do. Intimidation is not education or I'd be educating some people.
I feel this school is in need of some serious investigation into the way they try to EDUCATE my kids.
My kids are afraid of the academics and how to get help? HERE'S A TON OF HOMEWORK ASK YOUR PARENTS FOR HELP.......WHY ARE WE PAYING YOU?

It seems that this school and most of the overpaid RUSD board members are lost when it comes to what works.More concerned with their overall STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES. Parents we need to come together & stop them pushing agendas and personal views.
I suggest every PARENT should take a INTEREST in what these educators are calling important.

Chris Columbus DID NOT DISCOVER AMERICA and you are poisoning my child brain with useless information that only comes into play on STANDARDIZED TEST.

15 minute classes where the teacher tries to force info into our children as fast as they can fit in... The result is a confused child that comes home with homework they dont understand.
I am questioning the whole entire curriculum of this school and the district.
I come from a long line of educators, many members of this system. I also have talked to them and the agree that they are paid to little & worked too much teaching useless information.
I have to do some more research and some gathering of like minded FRUSTRATED parents. We need to come together and turn schools back into LEARNING FACILITIES not McDonald drive threw teaching.
Please take a moment and ask your kids how they feel they learned today. I bet you are disappointed Close Quote
