Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support to students. However, with over 54% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Mountain Vista School serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact educational outcomes. Improving test scores, increasing student achievement, and stabilizing the school's statewide ranking should be key priorities for the school and the district.
