Miller Elementary

Summary:

Miller Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arlington, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 588. The school is part of the Arlington Independent School District, which is ranked 683 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Miller Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) scores and statewide rankings across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's diverse student body, with high rates of economic disadvantage, contributes to the underperformance of key subgroups, such as Asian, African American, and Hispanic students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In comparison, nearby schools like Corey Fine Arts/Dual Language Academy and Dunn Elementary generally outperform Miller Elementary on academic measures, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and better statewide rankings.

To improve student outcomes, Miller Elementary and the Arlington ISD should consider implementing comprehensive academic interventions and support programs, providing targeted professional development for teachers, exploring community partnerships and family engagement initiatives, and closely monitoring the performance of student subgroups. By addressing these key areas, the school can work towards providing a more equitable and supportive learning environment for all students.

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.

Open Quote They’re awful towards students. The teachers do nothing about bullying and most of them are bullies themselves. They do not care about students whatsoever and they will NOT have any sympathy towards your kid if they’re not white, mentally ill, or not a straight A student. They let the teachers get away with basically abusing the kids and the teachers are rude and disrespectful to not only students and your parents if they confront them. Please do not send your kids here whatsoever. They literally traumatized me and if I could give this school no stars, I would. This school is awful in every way possible, please. If you love your child do not take them here. 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.
