Summary

Miller Hill School is an elementary school serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade in Averill Park, New York, which is part of the Averill Park Central School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, but currently ranks 1,022 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of Miller Hill School is its consistent academic performance, with students outperforming the district and state averages on the New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 77.42% of 3rd-grade students at Miller Hill School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 63.64% for the district and 54.15% for the state. In Math, 83.87% of 3rd-grade students at Miller Hill School were proficient or better, compared to 71.08% for the district and 59.7% for the state.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Averill Park Central School District, Miller Hill School generally outperforms Poestenkill Elementary School and West Sand Lake Elementary School in academic proficiency rates. Interestingly, West Sand Lake Elementary School has a higher statewide ranking than Miller Hill School, suggesting that factors beyond just test scores may be contributing to a school's overall performance.
