Miller Elementary

Miller Elementary in Little Elm, TX, is a K-5 school serving 573 students as part of the highly-rated Frisco Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide. The school has a strong track record, maintaining a 4-star rating and ranking in the 88th to 90th percentile among Texas elementary schools over the past four years, a significant improvement from a 3-star rating in 2021. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.3:1 and only 12.74% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Miller provides a supportive learning environment that consistently delivers high academic results.

Miller Elementary stands out for its exceptional support of specific student groups. It ranks in the 94th percentile statewide for serving English Language Learners and in the 97th percentile for Gifted and Talented students, offering enrichment opportunities that are less common in nearby districts. However, the school struggles with its low socio-economic status students, who rank in the 16th percentile, indicating a disparity in outcomes. Compared to neighboring schools, Miller dramatically outperforms Lakeview Elementary (Little Elm ISD) and Catherine Bell Elementary (Denton ISD), where proficiency rates in subjects like 5th grade math and science are significantly lower. Within its own district, Minett Elementary consistently outperforms Miller, particularly in math.

While Miller excels in reading, math is a relative weakness compared to district peers, with 3rd grade math proficiency 13 points below the Frisco ISD average. The school achieves its high results with efficient resource allocation, spending $8,051 per student, less than many lower-performing neighbors. This efficiency, combined with its consistent improvement and strong district support, makes Miller a compelling choice for families seeking a high-performing school with targeted strengths, though parents should be aware of the challenges in supporting all student groups equally.
