Summary

Miller County Elementary School in Colquitt, GA, serves 365 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the Miller County district, a rural school where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of the school's standout strengths is attendance. With a chronic absenteeism rate of just 14.4%, Miller County Elementary outperforms both its district (16.4%) and the state (17.7%). This is especially notable compared to nearby West Bainbridge Primary School, which has a chronic absenteeism rate of 33.8%—more than double Miller County's. The school also maintains a favorable 14:1 student-teacher ratio and spends a substantial $14,527 per student, which is on par with neighboring schools. In math, 3rd and 4th graders showed meaningful improvement this year, though 5th grade math dropped significantly. Science scores have been volatile, but the school exceeded the state average in 5th grade science just last year, showing the potential for high achievement.

Compared to Early County Elementary School, Miller County outperforms it in nearly every math category and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate. However, Seminole County Elementary School edges out Miller County in most math scores and holds a better overall state ranking. The school's overall ranking did decline this year, dropping from the 46th to the 33rd percentile, with the decline concentrated in 5th grade. While the school faces challenges with consistency, its strong attendance record and adequate funding provide a solid foundation for future academic growth. Note that Georgia's current test release does not include English Language Arts scores; those results will be available in December.

My son is in 3rd grade at MCES. He is a straight A student and is a great kid. We have been having problems at this school with bullying. This year we have a new principal that says he has "no tolerance" for bullying! Well, I have experienced this year the results of the authority of this so called "no tolerance" school for bullying. At the beginning of the year the principal was confronted with a situation that my son was being picked on and cussed at by a couple of other students. The students admitted they were doing it to the principal. Well throughout the year it has been reaccurring a few times in which my son has told the teachers several times and nothing has been done about it. It happened again where the student kicked my son and thumped his ear twice in class. The class went outside and my son chased the boy around on the playground. All the boys received 2 days ISS without a phone call to me or a letter. The principal said he felt comfortable with the decision he made after I made him aware of the fact that my son has went to the teachers several times about this kid and nothing was done. My son has never been in trouble ever and has always been a principal's honor roll student in gifted classes! I am very upset about the teachers and principal at this school. My son does what he is suppose to and is punished severely for not allowing others to bully him!!! Very disappointed in the new principal at this school and the so called authority figures in the classrooms!!! Close Quote
