Mountain View Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California middle schools, maintaining a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school's student groups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and low socioeconomic status students, all perform in the bottom quartile or bottom half of California middle schools. Mountain View Middle also experiences high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.8% to 38.2% over the past several years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests are consistently well below the state and district averages, often by 20 percentage points or more.

When comparing Mountain View Middle to other nearby schools, such as Walter Stiern Middle, Leon H. Ollivier Middle, and Greenfield Middle, which are in the Bakersfield City and Greenfield Union districts, it is clear that Mountain View Middle is underperforming compared to its peers. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 83.36% to 92.29%, suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's challenges, raising concerns about equity and the need to address the unique needs of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
