Mountain View (Alternative)

Summary:

Mountain View (Alternative) is a public alternative school located in Reedley, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 274 students. The school is part of the Kings Canyon Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 612 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Mountain View (Alternative) has seen some improvements in recent years, such as an increase in its four-year graduation rates from 18.5% in 2018-2019 to 50.3% in the 2022-2023 school year, this rate is still considerably lower than the state average of 55.73% and the district average of 63.91% for 11th-grade students. The school also continues to struggle with high dropout rates, ranging from 5.8% to 11.8%, and chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 54.1% in the 2020-2021 school year. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on standardized tests are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Sierra Charter, which has much higher graduation rates (83.9%), lower dropout rates (14.3%), and better academic performance, it becomes evident that Mountain View (Alternative) faces significant challenges. As an alternative school, it likely serves a population of students who have faced various academic and personal challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower performance metrics. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to focus on improving attendance, providing targeted academic interventions, and implementing comprehensive support services for students and their families.

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.
