Summary

Miller Ridge Elementary School is a PK–6 neighborhood school at 4704 Miller Road in Middletown, OH, serving 387 students as part of the Middletown City district. For 2025–2026, it is rated 2 stars and ranked 1,032nd of 1,560 Ohio elementaries (34th percentile). That is modest statewide, but it is the strongest of the nearby Middletown City elementaries: it leads Mayfield Elementary School, Creekview Elementary School, Central Academy Elementary School, and Wildwood Elementary School on rank, chronic absenteeism (24.9%), and student-to-teacher ratio (15.7). Still, the long view matters: Miller Ridge was a 3-star, roughly 52nd–62nd percentile school as recently as 2017–18 and has been 2 stars for seven straight reporting years.

In the classroom, Miller Ridge beats its district in 8 of 9 tested grade/subject areas but trails the state in 8 of 9. Fifth-grade science is a durable strength: 65.7% proficient in 2025–26, above both the district (42.1%) and state (62.7%), and above the state four years running. Third-grade math has improved every year for four years (47.5% to 57.4%). The clear weak spot is sixth-grade math at 27.0%, slightly below the district and about 29 points below the state, suggesting performance erodes in the final grade before middle school. Nearby examples show more is possible: Carlisle Primary Elementary School posts 84.3% in third-grade math and 68.7% in third-grade ELA with 10.6% chronic absenteeism, while Franklin Intermediate School reaches 74.7% in fourth-grade math.

Attendance and staffing are real strengths, though both need watching. Chronic absenteeism is 24.9%, well below the district (37.6%), but it rose from 17.9% the prior year. Class size has improved for three years to a 15.7 student-to-teacher ratio. The school also has a near-bottom statewide ranking for special-education effectiveness, and its overall rank has drifted down over the decade. Bottom line: Miller Ridge is a stable, 2-star school that outperforms its immediate neighborhood and district while remaining below state averages. Its assets are fifth-grade science, third-grade math momentum, lower absenteeism, and small classes; its central challenges are sixth-grade math, special-education effectiveness, and reversing the long-term rank decline.
