Mountain View Elementary

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school located in Claremont, California, serving 418 students in grades K-6 and part of the Claremont Unified School District.

While Mountain View Elementary has some areas of strength, such as relatively stronger performance for certain student subgroups, the school faces significant challenges compared to its nearby counterparts and the district and state averages. Its test scores are generally lower, with only 41.03% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 60.41% for the Claremont Unified School District and 47.04% for California. Additionally, Mountain View Elementary has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.6% in 2018-2019 to 18.1% in 2022-2023, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. The school also serves a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 40.43% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing Mountain View Elementary to nearby schools within the Claremont Unified School District, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming. For instance, Condit Elementary and Sycamore Elementary, both within a mile of Mountain View, consistently outperform it in test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. These nearby schools also serve a more affluent student population, with lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. By identifying and replicating the successful practices of these higher-performing schools, Mountain View Elementary can work towards enhancing its academic outcomes and providing a high-quality education for its community.

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.
