I LOVVEEE THIS SCHOOL!! i attended this school when i was in first grade and i love the teachers there. They are so supportive and i LOVE Mr. Cole! I felt really sad when he left because i got to know him a little better and it turns out that he's really caring and supportive. The teachers are so awesome and they do really care. i even still keep in contact with my 5th grade teacher. so to the lady (or guy, i don't really know the gender but...let's assume you're a mom) who is unhappy about the school, RECONSIDER! talk to some people...teachers you are not satisfied with and see what's going on. Don't just sit there in front of your computer typing up complaints. Oh wait, that was 5 years ago...well i hope you DID like the school but I LOVED it!! hi Mrs. PICKLER!! rate this school a 10+ wait never mind a 11! thanks for reading if you ever got finished! THANK YOU MILLER!!! :)
I am very fortunate that my two boys attend this school! The teachers and all the office personnal are awesome!

Two of my sons attend Miller. My oldest is in fourth grade and the younger one is in kindergarten. My family is very fortunate that the boys attend GB Miller. Mr Cole and the teachers are wonderful. They are so dedicated to student success. They do so much with so little. I wish I could do more for the school to support it.

Everything is good, however we need a change in lunch and the principal keeps changing, The kids should have a stable principal to talk to and get along with

My son has been attending the school since Kindergarten. The principal and nurse is great with the kids, parents and staff. My son has been fortunate to have such wonderful teachers each year and I've never had any problems with communication. His third grade teacher even communicates via email which is easier for me so I always have all my questions answered.

My daughter goes to Kindergarten here & loves going to school. Ms. Meade is an excellent teacher and works hard with the kids to get their reading & math skills perfected. One thing I think they need is more activities like fiedltrips & fun outside. They could us a new kindergarten playground though.

Teachers and Principal are awesome. They made mine and my son's Kindergarten experience very positive. The child care is awesome too! Very caring staff. They could use a new Kidergarten playground.

Unhappy with Miller School. Lack of communication with the teachers and staff. It didn't used to be this way. The staff continually state that we must talk to Mr. Cole. It is as if they are afraid of him.

GBMiller elementary school has very dedicated teachers and administrative staff. I have been very impressed with this school and its committment to education. The only thing I would say is get involved early. Being involved will help you and your student get the most out of what GB Miller Elem. has to offer.

I am for the most part happy with the level of teaching at Miller school. My son has had some academic problems and one of his teachers was really on top of things for us. The parents are very involved at this school, I see a lot parents on campus at all times. As well as the principal, he is visible on campus at lunch, recess, and before and after school, he is an approachable man. I wish the children could have more PE in thier week.

Welcome to GreatSchools!
For principals and school officials, we offer a special Enhanced School Profile (ESP) which allows you to update and add information about your school, as well as respond to reviews. If you are a school official, click Continue to start.
Please note that it can take up to 48 hours for your comment to be posted to our site. While you're here, we'd like to invite you to fill out a survey on your school's programs, activities, and extracurriculars. It only takes a few minutes and will help parents get a full picture of your school.
Continue to compare the schools you have already selected or Edit schools to change your selection.
Get started now! You have successfully registered and can now start updating your Official School Profile. The information you provide is extremely valuable in helping parents and students learn more about your school, so thanks for taking the time!
