Q: Is Mountain View Academy a good school?

Mountain View Academy ranks 409 th of 943 Colorado elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mountain View Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 393 students in grades K-8 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The school is part of the El Paso County Colorado School District 49, which is ranked 44 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mountain View Academy stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (30.53%) and two or more races (12.47%) students compared to surrounding schools. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in several key areas, including science proficiency for 5th grade, English Language Arts proficiency for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, and math proficiency for 3rd, 7th, and 8th grades. Additionally, Mountain View Academy has a significantly lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (5.09%) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.5, compared to the surrounding schools.

While Mountain View Academy's overall performance is strong, there are some disparities in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as female students and White students having lower rankings compared to their male and non-White counterparts. This suggests that the school may need to address these performance gaps to ensure equitable outcomes for all learners. Nonetheless, Mountain View Academy appears to be a high-performing public charter school, outpacing the district and state averages in several academic areas and serving a more diverse student population than the nearby schools, including Rudy Elementary School, Odyssey Elementary School, and Allies.

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.
