Summary:
Southern Local contains 1 high school in the supplied data: Miller High School in Corning, Ohio, which serves grades 7–12 with 240 students. Because it is the only high school listed, it is also the district's main secondary reference point; for grades 7–12, results for Southern Local are essentially Miller's results. The district ranks 605th of 773 Ohio districts, at the 22nd percentile, with 1 star. Data cover state tests for 2024–25 and 2025–26, graduation rate and chronic absenteeism for 2025–26, student-teacher ratio for 2024–25, and per-student spending for 2018–19; the free/reduced-lunch figure is not reported.
Academically, Miller was below the state comparison in every reported 2025–26 test. The 11-test unweighted average is about 42.5% proficient versus about 60.2% statewide, an average gap of roughly 17.7 percentage points. The largest concern is American Government at 26.7% versus 71.6% statewide, down from 57.1% the year before. 7th Grade Mathematics (21.4% vs. 48.6%) and Geometry (22.7% vs. 43.3%) are also well below the state. Bright spots include American History at 64.7%, the school's highest reported result, and Algebra I, which rose from 37.7% to 53.2%, a 15.5-point gain. Six tests improved year over year, one held flat, and three declined.
Other measures are mixed. The graduation rate is 93.1%, the same as the district, while chronic absenteeism is 35.4% at the school versus 26.5% in the district — more than one in three students chronically absent. The student-teacher ratio is 10.4, and per-student spending was $10,942 in 2018–19. The school's ranking has slipped from 2 stars and 31st percentile in 2023–24 to 1 star and 17th percentile in 2025–26. With only 240 students across grades 7–12, individual cohorts are small and single-year swings should be read with caution.
