We have two children who go to Miller School and we love it! The staff is professional, the new principal seems to have a good handle on how to run a school, and, best of all, there are only around 500 students on campus! Mr. and Mrs. McDowell are both great teachers (Mr. McDowell 3rd grade, Mrs. McDowell

The principal is a pushover with the students and does not properly take charge of situations. The school yard duties, with the exception of one, are terrible to the students! The student pick up process is terrible and there is no where to park. There is no one to properly cross the students immediately

My daughter goes to Miller. She loves her teachers Mrs Kersnowski and Mrs Padilla. At first she was so nervous about being placed in a combined classroom with second grade but now she really loves it. The principal is so involved and the teachers are great. I am glad she got transfered to Miller.

If you have a child that requires special education services, I would highly recommend enrolling elsewhere. They only will do the absolute minimum that is required of them, they do not show the extra interest in the students that need the extra support.

There are no bus services.I do not care for the principal at all. The curriculum is the strangest thing I have ever seen, no books and no homework? My son starts 3rd grade this year and last year he had no homework. He attended another school in 1st and K, he had more homework in Kindergarten than he

The things they did send home for him to do were ignorant, like a monthly calendar that he had a list of things to do at home and he had to check off 3 things a week (you never had to show the actual work to the teacher). The parking and pick up/drop off is awful, there is no place to park, no place to pull up, except in the middle of the road. The teachers yell at you for letting your child get in the car before you were at the 'right' spot. Thumbs down! Read less

Miller School is a wonderful school! My son went to Miller from Kindergarten to 3rd grade. We moved 2 years ago and have really noticed the difference at his new school. Miller had a great GATE program and wonderful teachers including Ms. Chapparone and Mrs Denny. Mr. Ruggles was a great principal.
