Miller Middle

Summary:

Miller Middle is a public middle school located in San Marcos, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 986. The school is part of the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 670 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Miller Middle maintains a low dropout rate, the school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in STAAR test proficiency across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 6th grade reading proficiency was 45.99% compared to the state average of 54.45% and the district average of 42.63%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and White students performing relatively well, but Hispanic, English Language Learner, and economically disadvantaged students struggling. Additionally, Miller Middle's Gifted and Talented program ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools.

When compared to other middle schools in the surrounding districts, such as Navarro J H, Goodnight Middle, and Church Hill Middle, Miller Middle generally underperforms on STAAR test proficiency. This may be due in part to the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (74.04% in 2022-2023), which likely contributes to its lower academic performance compared to more affluent nearby schools.

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.
