William B Miller Elementary

Summary:

William B Miller Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 239 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 97-98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, William B Miller Elementary consistently performs below the Dallas ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from just 8.57% to 37.5% in mathematics and 23.08% to 37.5% in reading, significantly lower than the district and state. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is also notably lower than the district and state. Consequently, William B Miller Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating below-average performance.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Elisha M Pease Elementary, Cedar Crest Elementary, and Harry Stone Montessori Academy, generally perform better than William B Miller Elementary on academic measures, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings. However, these nearby schools also serve student populations with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 80% to 99% free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Despite these challenges, William B Miller Elementary has seen some positive trends, such as improvements in the performance of African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students over the past few years.

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.
