Mountain View Elementary School

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Longmont, Colorado, serving 343 students in grades PK-4 as part of the St. Vrain Valley School District. The school faces significant challenges, with a high percentage of Hispanic students and students from low-income families, as well as consistently lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages.

Mountain View Elementary has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (58.89%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 10.55% to 84.96% Hispanic. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.69% to 70.88% over the past three years, much higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 26.18% to 83.26%. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's academic struggles, as evidenced by its significantly lower test scores in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages.

Mountain View's academic performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 585 out of 929 Colorado elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 817 out of 943 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Timberline Pk-8 and Central Elementary School, Mountain View's test scores are significantly lower, with only 22.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.4% in Math, compared to higher-performing schools in the area.

This school seems to be so unorganized, there have been a couple occasions of bullying with my son and for whatever reason it doesn't get resolved. It's unfortunate when my kids hate going to school there. Close Quote

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.
