The school is part of the Kingston City School District, which is ranked 761 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

M Clifford Miller Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 1002-1379 out of 1500 schools over the past 5 years. Its performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, ranking in the bottom quartile for most student subgroups. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.85% to 64.6% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other middle schools in the surrounding area, such as J Watson Bailey Middle School, which is part of the same district, M Clifford Miller Middle School consistently underperforms on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. However, the school's students perform relatively well on Regents exams, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages in Algebra I, Living Environment, and Earth and Space Sciences. Despite the district's investment in the school, with spending per student ranging from $19,000 to $34,492 over the past 4 years, the academic outcomes have declined over the past 5 years, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
