Summary:

Pittsburgh Miller K-5 is an elementary school located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 213 students. The school is part of the Pittsburgh School District, which is ranked 466 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pittsburgh Miller K-5 consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,172 and 1,517 out of around 1,500 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on PSSA tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in Math, where proficiency rates range from 0% to 12.5%. The school serves a high-needs population, with 94-98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a relatively high percentage of African American students. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, these inputs do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes.

Comparing Pittsburgh Miller K-5 to nearby schools in the Pittsburgh School District, such as Pittsburgh Grandview K-5, Pittsburgh Arsenal K-5, and Pittsburgh Woolslair K-5, these schools generally perform better on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates on PSSA tests and higher overall school rankings.

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.
