Mountain View Elementary School

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Mountain View, Hawaii, with a student population of 493 and is part of the Hawaii Department of Education district.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked school district, Mountain View Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Hawaii elementary schools over the past several years, with a low 0-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on standardized tests, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates were 25% in ELA and 22% in Math, compared to the state averages of 49% and 52% respectively. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.7%, which is much higher than the state average.

When comparing Mountain View Elementary School to nearby schools in the same district, the differences are stark. For instance, Ernest Bowen DeSilva Elementary School, located about 10 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates (75% in ELA and 74% in Math) and a much lower chronic absenteeism rate (13.6%). Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there is room for improvement at Mountain View Elementary School, and with the right strategies and resources, the school could potentially make significant gains in student achievement.

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.
