Summary:
The Miller County school district in Georgia consists of three schools: Miller County Elementary School, Miller County High School, and Miller County Middle School. The data reveals a district struggling to provide high-quality education across all grade levels, with all three schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types statewide.
Among the standout schools, Miller County Middle School performed relatively well on Milestones Assessments, with 85.7% of students proficient or better in Algebra I. Miller County High School had a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 85.4% and performed better than the county and state averages on Algebra I Milestones Assessments. However, all three schools had lower proficiency rates than the state averages on most standardized tests, with the largest gaps in 3rd and 4th grade Math at the elementary school and American Literature and Biology at the high school.
The data also reveals significant equity concerns, with extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at Miller County Elementary School at 95.91%. This suggests a high-poverty student population that may require additional resources and support. The disparities in test scores between Miller County schools and the state averages raise further concerns about educational equity and access to quality instruction across the district.
