of 367 Missouri High Schools

Better than 12% of Missouri high schools

Summary

Miller High is a public high school located in Miller, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 271 students. The school is part of the Miller R-II School District, which is ranked 199 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Miller High's key strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.6% to 98.0% over the past few years, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Golden City High (75.0%) and Marionville High (97.8%). However, the school faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.0% to 17.3%, which is higher than the nearby Sarcoxie High (10.7%) and Verona High (17.6%).

Another area of concern for Miller High is its test scores, which are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.3% of students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 45.4%. Additionally, the school's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has been declining over the past several years, from 187 out of 460 Missouri high schools in 2018-2019 to 324 out of 367 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating. The school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, ranging from 52.43% to 61.99% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to these challenges.
