Miller Magnet Middle School

Q: Is Miller Magnet Middle School a good school?

Miller Magnet Middle School ranks 344 th of 588 Georgia middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Miller Magnet Middle School is a public magnet middle school in Macon, Georgia, serving 585 students in grades 6-8. Despite being part of the Bibb County School District, which is ranked 173 out of 203 districts in Georgia and rated 1 star out of 5, Miller Magnet consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests.

The school's academic success is particularly noteworthy given its 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population. However, Miller Magnet spends $11,508 per student, the highest among nearby schools, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 to 14.7 students per teacher. These additional resources may contribute to the school's strong performance, with 43% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 21.3% for Bibb County and 41.6% for Georgia, and 36.1% proficient or better in Algebra I End of Course, compared to 15.2% for Bibb County and 44% for Georgia.

When compared to other schools in the region, Miller Magnet Middle School stands out. While it lags behind some higher-performing districts, such as Houston County and Jones County, in certain subject areas, its ability to excel in English Language Arts and Algebra I is a testament to the effectiveness of its magnet program and the dedication of its staff and students, even in the face of significant economic challenges.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
