He also earned the Loyola High School Athlete of the Year Award in 2010.

College

Jackson-Cartwright attended the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) of the Ivy League after being heavily recruited by the school's coaching staff. At the time he was the highest ranked player by ESPN's basketball writers and other credible college basketball scouting services to ever commit to the Penn in its long and storied history. Miles was a four-year starter who served three seasons as a team captain. Jackson-Cartwright ended his career at Penn second all-time in minutes played (3,959), seventh in assists (358), ninth in free throws made (364), ninth in free throw percentage (81.3), tenth in steals (131), tenth in 3-point field goals made (155), tenth in 3-point field goals attempted (449), and thirteenth all-time in points scored (1,401).

Jackson-Cartwright was selected as a Second Team All-Ivy League honoree and also won the Philadelphia Big 5 Cy Kaselman Award for the Best Free Throw Percentage in 2012–13.

A notable Jackson-Cartwright play is when he scored a three-point play on a dunk over three Princeton players including Will Barrett, a six-foot/ten inch center. The points were the last ones scored in the away game loss and the dunk made ESPN SportsCenter's Top Plays of the day on March 8, 2011.

Jackson-Cartwright went undrafted in the 2014 NBA draft after his collegiate career ended. On July 23, 2014, he signed a contract to play basketball in the Netherlands for Aris Leeuwarden of the Dutch Basketball League.
