Mountain View High School

Q: Is Mountain View High School a good school?

Mountain View High School ranks 97 th of 305 Arkansas high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mountain View High School is a public high school serving 319 students in grades 9-12 in Mountain View, Arkansas, which is part of the Mountain View School District.

The school has some notable strengths, including consistently strong performance in English Language Arts and Reading proficiency, which exceed the state averages. However, the school struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average in Algebra and Geometry. Interestingly, the nearby Rural Special High School, which is also part of the Mountain View School District, outperforms Mountain View High School in most subject areas, including Mathematics and Science. Other nearby schools, such as West Side High School and Concord High School, also tend to outperform Mountain View High School in many subject areas.

Another key factor is the school's extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.06% to 100% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges, and the school may benefit from additional resources and support to address the needs of this population. Additionally, the school's fluctuating ranking over the years suggests the need for consistent and sustained efforts to improve academic performance and maintain a high level of achievement.

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.
