“Miller School has many good things to offer, including outstanding teachers and probably the best music program anywhere. They offer a wide range of resources to special education students. They offer absolutely nothing for gifted students. Further, it has been my personal experience and of other parents, as well, that school and district administration are openly contemptuous of parents who question their methods, taking the attitude of benevolent tyrant.”

“My son just stated Kindergarden. It is now April and he has learned to read and does wonderful in math. The school has done an outrageous job in making his first year a great one. The principal and Assistant Principal are always around ready to help and participate. The staff is all great. I have heard nothing but good things about all the teachers in this school, but I can only speak for Ms. Fizzinoglia. If all teachers wee like her, we would really have happy students and quick learners.”
