Miller Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 06–08 in DURANGO. It is one of 12 current school records connected to Durango School District No. 9-R. NCES reports 360 students for 2024–25.
Among 273 middle schools in Colorado with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 468 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 35th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 12:1, below the Colorado median of 15.8:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (68.9%) and Hispanic or Latino (18.3%). English learners represent 5.5% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 12.6%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
