Mountain View Elementary School

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 582 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Academy School District No. 20, which is ranked 8th out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 5-star rating.

Mountain View Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Colorado, with impressive performance on CMAS tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, 54.2% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 61.1% for the district and 44.1% for the state. The school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 60% white students, and a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 7.39% to 9.02% in recent years. This is significantly lower than the nearby Ranch Creek Elementary and Explorer Elementary School, which have free and reduced lunch rates over 35%.

The low student-teacher ratio at Mountain View Elementary, ranging from 16.5 to 19.3 in recent years, is lower than the nearby schools, indicating smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. While the school's consistent high performance is commendable, the demographic and socioeconomic differences between Mountain View Elementary and the nearby schools may raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the Academy School District No. 20.

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.
