As a grandparent of two students at E. L. Miller Elementary School I have seen a great improvement of the school since the new principal arrived. He has more after school programs and expected excellence from the teachers and students. I can see a NEW and EXCITED atmosphere in the school. With the parents and students help I am sure that this school can and will be one of the best. Special thanks to Mr. Gordon, Ms Benson, Mrs. James,Mr Nicholson for all their hard work. They made the classes challenging but fun for my granddaughter. I hope the principal, Mr Bryant will have continued success. Close Quote

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.
