Mountain View Elementary School

Q: Is Mountain View Elementary School a good school?

Mountain View Elementary School ranks 93 rd of 497 Arkansas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Mountain View School District in Arkansas, with 491 students. The school has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Arkansas elementary schools over the past 10 years and is currently ranked 93 out of 497 elementary schools in the state for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mountain View Elementary School outperforms the state and district averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels, with 51% of students proficient or better in ATLAS/Mathematics for All Grades compared to 40.7% for the district and 36.4% for the state. The school serves a high-need population, with over 99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 13.7 to 14.8 over the past 3 years. At $9,723 per student in 2018-2019, the school's spending is higher than the state average, which could provide additional resources and support for students.

When comparing Mountain View Elementary to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Timbo Elementary and Rural Special Elementary, Mountain View outperforms these schools on most test score metrics. However, Timbo and Rural Special have lower free/reduced lunch rates, which may contribute to their slightly lower academic performance. The school's strongest performance appears to be in mathematics and science, with higher proficiency rates compared to English Language Arts and Reading, but the school's fluctuating performance and potential opportunity gaps within the school warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure all students are achieving at high levels.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
