The strong community at Miner is exactly what we are looking for in a neighborhood school, and I am thrilled that my daughter will be going there for the next 7 years - from Pre-K and up. Boiling down a schools' performance to standardized test metrics does not in any way reflect the learning, the support and the experience-based learning going on at this school. If you pass on this school experience because of what some website says about test numbers, you will really be missing out.

We honestly didn't know much about Miner before enrolling, but we have been thrilled with the wonderful school community of families, teachers and staff. Our child loves going to school. The teachers communicate well with us, and we've witnessed not only our child's impressive academic growth but also his social and emotional growth as well. This is a wonderful community full of dedicated educators and families committed to the success of the school and every student.

There is much more to Miner than this page indicates. My children love attending Miner and I have found a diverse community of parents and caregivers committed to being a part of the exciting growth of the school. My recommendation for anyone considering Miner is to look beyond the statistics presented here, visit the school and talk to parents.

Terrific. There is something special about Miner. Ignore the algorithms that seek to apply a number. You can not quantify what is happening at Miner - the learning, the community, and the relationships. Come join us.

The school works well with Kids that might fall behind and they start with PK children.

I love Miner Elementary School because you have a great impact on my kids & my daughter loved the school so much and she loves her teachers in fact my three-year-old don't even go to the school yet and she loves it can't wait til she get in there that's the only school I am recommending for my baby because it's teaching my 6 year old to be independent it motivates her to want to read on her own and do her work on her own

My daughter just completed Pre-K at Miner and we've been very satisfied with our experience at the school. My daughter has had an excellent teacher and teaching assistant and has grown tremendously in her two years in the early childhood program. Despite what we hear about the school from neighbors who don't attend, I feel very fortunate to be a part of this school's community. I would encourage anyone interested to look beyond the test scores, talk with the teachers, visit the school and then make a decision about whether or not it's the right place for your child. There's a growing PTO and a great desire to have families involved.
