Summary

Miller City High School is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 with 257 students in the rural village of Miller City, Ohio, in Putnam County, and it belongs to the Miller City-New Cleveland Local district, which ranks 23rd of 773 Ohio districts (97th percentile, 5 stars). The school itself has earned 5 stars every year on record, with percentile ranks of 96–100 from 2015-16 through 2024-25. Its most recent year, 2025-26, shows a rank of 61st of 795 schools (92nd percentile) — still 5 stars, but the lowest percentile the school has posted in the ten years shown.

Its standout trait is attendance: chronic absenteeism of 0.7% in 2025-26, compared with 9.5% at Kalida High School, 8.3% at Ottawa-Glandorf High School, and 14.9% at Leipsic High School — roughly one-thirteenth of the nearby average, and a steady pattern over five years rather than a one-year result. Test scores are high across the board: 95.3% proficiency in Algebra I (state: 61.6%), 91.7% in American Government, 87.5% in English II, 84.4% in both Biology and American History, and 67.6% in Geometry. Averaged across those six end-of-course subjects, Miller City reaches 85.2% against a state figure of 63.2%, second among eleven nearby schools and just behind Kalida's 89.1%.

Two areas are worth watching. Geometry has slid from 86.2% to 78.7% to 67.6% over three years, and American History dropped from 95.7% to 84.4% in a single year; every reported subgroup percentile also fell in 2025-26. The graduation rate of 95.7% is the lowest of the eleven comparison schools (all others are 96.3%–100%), though the five-year average is about 98%. Gifted and talented students rank at the 79th percentile, below the school overall. About 18.68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-pupil spending is $12,747, and the student-teacher ratio of 23.3 is the highest in the area.
