Mountain Vista

Summary:

Mountain Vista is an elementary school located in Fillmore, California, serving 510 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Fillmore Unified School District, which is ranked 1321 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mountain Vista faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement. The school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.1% in 2018-2019 to 39.9% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state and district averages. Academically, Mountain Vista students consistently perform below state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 32.39% and 18.72% of students, respectively, meeting or exceeding proficiency standards in 2023-2024. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student groups, with female students and English Language Learners performing significantly worse than their peers.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Rio Vista Elementary, Mountain Vista generally underperforms academically. This may be partly due to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 79.61% of Mountain Vista students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and targeting the specific needs of the school's student population will be crucial in improving academic outcomes at Mountain Vista.

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.
