Miller Middle School

Summary:

Miller Middle School is a public middle school located in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 229 students. The school is part of the Central Greene School District, which is ranked 391 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Miller Middle School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, a relatively homogeneous student population, and lower funding compared to some nearby schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 18.7% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 39.3% and the district average of 35%. Additionally, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent school year, lower than the ratings of some nearby schools, such as Trinity Middle School (4 stars) and McGuffey Middle School (3 stars).

One interesting finding is that Miller Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.51%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (1.75% in 2022-2023), which is significantly lower than the surrounding schools, many of which have 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. To improve student outcomes, the school and district may need to focus on addressing these issues through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a closer examination of the factors contributing to the school's underperformance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
