Miller County High School recently received the Literacy Leader banner from the Georgia Department of Education for being recognized as Literacy Leaders for the 24-25 school year. The Literacy Leader honor celebrates schools that demonstrate extraordinary student progress and proficiency. Schools are recognized for achievement, growth, or both on annual end-of-grade or end-of-course assessments. The criteria recognize the crucial importance of grade-level reading in third and sixth grades, and require higher growth from schools with lower achievement levels. A total of 406 schools met the qualifications for recognition as 2024-2025 Literacy Leaders. Awards were given based on the outlined criteria at the elementary and middle-school levels, and at the high-school level based on the American Literature EOC, which is the state test for ELA in high school.
