Best Public Schools in Miller, MO

Summary:

The city of Miller, Missouri is home to two schools - Central Elementary and Miller High, both part of the Miller R-II school district. While Central Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Missouri elementary schools, Miller High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 180th to 324th out of Missouri high schools.

Central Elementary stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong academic performance, outperforming the state average in mathematics and science proficiency. However, the school serves a high-need student population, with a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 63.61%. In contrast, Miller High maintains a strong 96.7% four-year graduation rate, but struggles with proficiency in Algebra I and Biology I end-of-course exams, falling significantly behind the state average.

Both schools face similar challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates and chronic absenteeism rates above the state average. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support programs to ensure equitable access to resources and improve overall student outcomes in the Miller, Missouri school district.
