Mesa View Elementary

Summary:

Mesa View Elementary is a public elementary school in Chinle, Arizona, serving 388 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Chinle Unified District, which has a 1-star rating, and the student population is predominantly Native American at 97.94%.

Despite increased per-student funding over the years, Mesa View Elementary consistently performs below state and district averages in academic achievement. The school's proficiency rates range from just 7% to 35% in English Language Arts and 11% to 35% in Mathematics, significantly lower than other schools. Additionally, only 6% of 5th graders scored proficient or better on the state science test, compared to the 34% state average. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools and maintains a 1 or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, Mesa View Elementary is located very close to two other elementary schools in the Chinle Unified District - Canyon De Chelly Elementary School and Chinle Elementary School - which tend to perform better academically than Mesa View. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 14.9 students per teacher suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or student engagement, may be contributing to the persistent academic struggles at Mesa View Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
