of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 99% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Miller City Elementary School in Miller City, OH, is a K–5 public school of about 240 students in the Putnam County area, part of the Miller City-New Cleveland Local district — and one of the highest-ranked elementary schools in Ohio. In 2025–2026 it ranked 12th of 1,560 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 99th percentile with 5 stars. That is not a one-year fluke: the school has ranked between the 96th and 100th percentile every year in the available history, including 3rd statewide in 2021–2022. Its district also ranks 23rd of 773 Ohio districts.

Test results are near the ceiling. In 2025–2026, proficiency rates ranged from 94.4% to 97.9% across all reported grades and subjects, while state averages ranged from 59.1% to 70.4% — generally 28 to 37 percentage points above the state in every reported area. Nearby schools sometimes beat Miller City Elementary School in a single grade or subject: Oakwood Elementary School hit 100% in Grade 3 ELA and Grade 5 Science, Ayersville Elementary School hit 100% in Grade 5 math, and Glandorf Elementary School and Patrick Henry Elementary School posted slightly higher Grade 4 math results. But no nearby school matches Miller City's consistency across every grade and subject — its lowest 2025–2026 score, 94.4% in Grade 3 math, exceeds most nearby schools' top scores.

Chronic absenteeism is another standout: 0.8% in 2025–2026 and 0.0% in 2023–2024, far below most neighbors, which ranged from 0.9% at Glandorf to 8.9% at Patrick Henry. The school also ranks in the 99th percentile for effectiveness with low-income students in 2025–2026, which is notable because many high-performing schools do less well with that group. Enrollment (240) is smaller than most nearby schools. The student–teacher ratio was 15.4 in 2024–2025, mid-to-high locally, and per-student spending was $10,019 in 2018–2019, mid-range among neighbors. The free/reduced lunch rate is not reported in the data, so it should be treated as unknown rather than zero.
