Mountain View Elementary

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school in Riverside, California, serving 840 students in grades K-6 and part of the Riverside Unified School District.

While Mountain View Elementary faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (25.7% in 2022-2023) and lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, the school also has some unique characteristics. Academically, only 33.84% of Mountain View students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy in 2023-2024, compared to 45.48% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 27.9%, while the district and state had rates of 31.57% and 35.54%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 77.86% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools like Madison Elementary and Pachappa Elementary, both of which outperform Mountain View in academic assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, the challenges facing Mountain View become more apparent.

Despite these challenges, Mountain View Elementary has some bright spots, such as the relatively strong performance of students with disabilities in the 2021-2022 school year. However, the school's performance for other subgroups, like Hispanic students and English Language Learners, suggests potential achievement gaps that need to be addressed. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's socioeconomic status may be crucial in improving the overall academic performance of Mountain View Elementary and providing a better educational experience for its 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.
