Eldridge L. Miller Elementary School

my child has attended e l miller for 4 yrs now and i must say so far i have been satisfied with the teachers but they environment and sanitation of the school is awful and discusting it is so nasty the bathrooms are not plurable for anyone child to use but if go to the teachers area it stays clean, the school front office staff is also very rude and not professional to parents and guests i feel that e l miller can be an outstanding school with better staff in front office and a lil remolding, its imperative they clean up that school.

Awsome school. The teachers are caring and they know how to teach any child. If your child has Sharon Johnson, Porsha Johnson, Robyn Moultsby, Frintress Jackson, Ms Buthume, Ms Hunt or Ms Lane. They will recieve the best education in the world. These ladies helped my son Elijah reach his full potential and I love them for that.

It is unfortunate that children are subjected to a poor education, simply because of their zipcode. The acedemics are very poor, and the staff is also. As a parent I strongly suggest that you do everything in your power to not send your children here, I have watched my children change as a result of their experience at this school since the begining of the school year. All children are important, no matter what, and it is unacceptable for them to be treated otherwise- especially at school.

I am a former E.L. Miller student. I am currently an eigth grade student at Redan Middle School. I must say that E.L. Miller has an outstanding group of teachers and staff. I attended this school from kindergarten until fifth grade and it prepared me very well for the school I currently attend. I am an honor student and I am gifted as well as a high acheiver. E.L. Miller is a close knit family and if you start there young you surely will get to know everyone. Mrs. Speer is a great principal and regardless of what anyone says she is the glue that holds that school together. I will never forget the teachers at this school because they truly had a passion for teaching.

My son attended EL Miller for seven years and scored high on standard exams and has learned alot. He felt as if he was part of a family and not just another number. My daughter is there and is doing well academically in class and on exams. Teachers at EL Miller care about the students success academically and emotionally. Parent involvement is very low. Teachers have to do a lot for themselves. I think that hurts the student and the teacher. That may be the reason that there is not a lot of extracurricular activies available. The professionalism is very high. Mrs. Spears is very strict when it comes to policies. She is not going to allow anyone to run over her. If parents would spend a few minutes getting to know her, they would understand that her entire adult life has been dedicated to educating children.

I must say that since my two sons have been at E.L. Miller for the past two years, I have seen a tremendous interest in their learning abilities. Both of their teachers have been outstanding in assisting with their confidence in wanting to be high achievers and excell in all they do. Thanks to the administation for the open-door policy that I have taken advantage of in being able to be apart of the classroom setting. I am also looking forward to my toddler starting school at E.L. Miller with his older siblings in the near future and being apart of his higher learning experience. My challenge to all of us as parents, let's be apart of our kids lives and education so that they can make positive decisions and be the best in whatever they do. Thanks, a concerned parent who love children. Mrs. S.M.

To say that I do not care for E.L. Miller is putting it lightly. The administration is completely unprofessional. There are some good teachers at the school and I put the emphasis on some. I pulled my son from that school after seeing my son go from a extrovert who loved school to a child who did just enough to get by. If you have the opportunity, do not send your child there. If you are an involved parent, they treat you as if your involvement is abnormal. The parent/teacher/administration relationship is not valued at E.L. Miller.

E.L. Miller is a fine school, I find that the teachers are willing to work with the parents and sometimes it's the parents that don't want to cooperate and the students take advantage of that. I have spent numerous hours in the class room and find that if the student is willing the teaching is there. Parents need to wake up and attend the PTA meetings and add their suggestions. Also the parents need to show up to the class room of their child and see just how the child is conducting him or herself. Be alert parents and also check what your child brings to school and what they're wearing. Make sure they do their homework. The teacher is not the parent you know.
