Miller Intermediate stands out for its exceptional math performance, particularly in Algebra I, where 96.97% of students were proficient—far exceeding the district average of 61.77% and the state average of 54.03%. This places Miller at the top among nearby intermediates like Bondy Intermediate, Queens Intermediate, Southmore Intermediate, and Park View Intermediate.

While reading scores are above district averages, they are not as dominant as math, with 7th-grade reading (49.57%) slightly below the state average (54.04%).
Miller is particularly effective at supporting its student population, with over 86% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it achieves strong results for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low socio-economic status students, all earning 4-star ratings statewide. The school also uses resources efficiently, spending $10,240 per student—less than nearby schools like Park View ($12,261) and Queens ($11,762)—while outperforming them academically. A key area for growth is 7th-grade math, which at 28.98% proficiency lags behind the state average, but the school's overall trajectory and focus on math excellence make it a standout choice in the district.
