Joaquin Miller Elementary School, K-5 (Public)

I have a second grader here and a Kindergartner here and I could not be happier. Both teachers, Mrs. Martinez and Mr. Spence are really good teachers and fine people. As are the other teachers I have met here. The parent involvement, PTA and Booster Club are like none I have ever seen. I was recruited! Great energy here and a very ethnically diverse enrollment.

Our daughter had the most extraordinary kindergarten teacher -- Mrs. Martinez. She really engendered a love of learning in her -- not easy as our daughter was really turned off to academics from pre-K -- and gave her extra help where needed. As a volunteer, I got to know all the kindergarten teachers and they are all remarkable. I only wish we were able to continue at this fine school, but we're moving! All staff are highly committed to the kids and there's a solid group of parents who are active in the PTA and who are trying to develop more after-school enrichment activites.

Miller Elementary has the greatest teaching staff. I highly reccommend sending your child to this school.

A fairly high quality education with a very multi_cultural population. Teachers are for the most part engaging and involved in their teaching. Many exceptional staff memmers.

Two of my children have been going to Miller since Kindergarten. Overall, I'm very happy with the school. Out of 8 teachers my girls have had, only 2 were lackluster. If your child is assigned a teacher you don't like, there's nothing you can do about it. However, dispite those two teachers (and the subsequent year each daughter had to deal with them), the other teachers have been very enthusiastic and care about their jobs. They really seem to enjoy teaching the kids. Overall my daughters have had a very positive experience at Miller Elementary.

I feel that this school does offer quite a bit of extra activities for the students to participate in. There is a high level of parent involvment as well, which I think is essential to my child's education. My daughter seems to have also accelerated quite a bit in her learning as well and the teacher is definitely good at letting you know what, if anything, needs to be focused/worked on.

Wonderful teaching staff, falculty and students. For the largest elementary school in Burbank, Miller ranks top when it compares to quality of teachers. All are 'Highly Qualified' and put in 110%. Miller also has a diverse student population that provides more learning than test scores relay.

great school, some of the best faculty i've ever seen.
