Summary

Pittsburgh Miller K-5 is an elementary school located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 225 students. The school is part of the Pittsburgh School District, which is ranked 450 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Pittsburgh Miller K-5 has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past several years.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with consistently low proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 11.2% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 27.9% for the district and 41.7% for the state. In ELA, the school's proficiency rate was 16.7%, compared to 39.3% for the district and 48.5% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students of low socioeconomic status.

Despite the school's high spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio, Pittsburgh Miller K-5 has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance over the past several years. When compared to nearby schools, such as Pittsburgh Allegheny K-5, a magnet school located about 1.5 miles away, the differences in academic performance are stark, with the magnet school consistently outperforming Pittsburgh Miller K-5 by a significant margin. The challenges facing Pittsburgh Miller K-5 are reflective of the broader challenges facing many low-income schools across the country, and addressing these issues will require targeted and sustained support.
