The school is part of the Regional School Unit 40/Maine School Admin District 40, which is ranked 82 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, Miller School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that period. The school faces significant challenges, particularly in terms of chronic absenteeism and academic performance. Miller School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 34.8% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in MEA (Maine Educational Assessments) tests, is consistently lower than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the same district show a wide range of performance. Prescott Memorial School and Friendship Village School consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Maine, with high academic performance and low chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, Union Elementary and Warren Community School, while in the same district, have similar performance issues to Miller School. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as chronic absenteeism, could be crucial in improving Miller School's overall performance and outcomes for its students.
