Summary

Miller Avenue Elementary School is a K–6 school in Sugarcreek, Ohio, serving about 175 students in the Garaway Local district, a small-town area where several nearby schools rank highly. In 2025–26 it placed 321st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 79th percentile — earning 4 stars, while the district ranked 115th of 773 (85th percentile, 4 stars).

The school is coming off a clear turnaround year. After sitting mostly at the 60th–66th percentile with 3 stars from 2020–21 through 2024–25, it rose to the 79th percentile in 2025–26, its best statewide showing since 2018–19, and the improvement shows up broadly across student groups. Its standout areas are 5th-grade Science, where 91.3% of students were proficient (compared with 81.3% in the district and 62.7% statewide), and 3rd-grade ELA at 85.2%, well above district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism improved to 5.0%, lower than the district's 5.9% and down sharply from 11.5% the year before, though attendance has swung a lot in recent years and is worth watching.

The clearest gap is upper-grade math: 6th-grade Math was 70.6% proficient — above the state's 56.2% but well below the district's 85.5% and behind nearby Baltic Elementary School and Dundee Elementary School. Fourth-grade math and 4th- and 6th-grade ELA also trail the district. The local bar is high: East Holmes Local includes Chestnut Ridge Elementary School at the 99th percentile and Walnut Creek Elementary School at the 94th. Miller Avenue serves a higher free/reduced-lunch share (33.71%) than most East Holmes schools and had the lowest per-student spending among Garaway elementaries in the available data ($7,917, from 2018–19).
