Mountain View Elementary School

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary School is a public elementary school located in McCammon, Idaho, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 281 students. The school is part of the Marsh Valley Joint District, which is ranked 56 out of 77 districts in Idaho and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Mountain View Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.59%) compared to nearby schools like Washington Elementary School and Pocatello Community Charter, which have more diverse student populations. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates on ISAT tests that are generally lower than the district and state averages, though it has outperformed them in certain grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Mountain View Elementary has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (13.2%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 8.7% to 19.4%.

Over the years, Mountain View Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from a high of 36th out of 292 Idaho elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 179th out of 301 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (26.69%) may indicate that it serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which could contribute to some of the challenges the school is facing.

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.
