Summary:
Miller City-New Cleveland Local is a high-performing Ohio district made up of three schools — one elementary (K–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — serving 616 students in total, and it earns an overall 5-star rating while ranking 23rd of 773 districts statewide (97th percentile). Every listed test score at every school sits above the state average, often by 20 points or more.
Miller City Elementary School is the district's standout and one of the strongest schools in Ohio. It ranked 12th of 1,560 schools in 2025–26 (99th percentile, 5 stars), with proficiency scores packed into a tight 94.4%–97.9% range and gaps of +27.5 to +36.6 points over the state. In 2024–25 it posted perfect 100% proficiency in 5th-grade science, math, and ELA. Miller City Middle School is close behind at 22nd of 1,046 (98th percentile, 5 stars), led by 8th-grade science and math at 97.5%, and it has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 0.3%. Its results are more uneven by grade, though: 7th-grade math fell to 76.3% and 8th-grade ELA to 80.0%, while 6th-grade math and ELA improved sharply.
Miller City High School remains strong but shows the only clear relative dip, moving from 22nd to 61st of 795 schools (92nd percentile, 5 stars). Its 2025–26 graduation rate was 95.7%, with Algebra I at 95.3% and American Government at 91.7%; Geometry was weakest at 67.6%, still 24.3 points above the state. Note the higher student-teacher ratio there (23.3 versus 15.4 and 15.5). Absenteeism is under 1% at all three schools, and elementary/middle poverty rates are not available, so a full district comparison of free/reduced lunch is not possible.
