Miller R-II

The Miller R-II school district in Missouri operates two schools: Central Elementary and Miller High. While Central Elementary has shown some academic success, outperforming the state average in several areas, Miller High has consistently underperformed, with particularly low math proficiency rates.

Central Elementary is ranked 442 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 64.33%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, Miller High is ranked 275 out of 352 Missouri high schools and has a 1-star rating, with underperformance across all reported MAP test scores for 7th and 8th grades.

The data suggests a significant disparity in academic performance between the two schools, which may be influenced by socioeconomic factors. Both schools have a predominantly white student population, raising questions about the diversity and inclusiveness of the district. The declining statewide ranking and rating of Miller High, as well as the relatively low rating of Central Elementary, suggest that the Miller R-II school district may face systemic challenges in providing quality education to its students.
