Mountain View School

Q: Is Mountain View School a good school?

Mountain View School ranks 194 th of 290 Maine elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mountain View School is an elementary school located in Sullivan, Maine, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 147 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 24 district, which is ranked 142 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Mountain View School's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, they are on par or slightly higher than the scores for the Regional School Unit 24 district. However, the school's performance has declined over the years, with a significant drop in proficiency rates from 2020-2021 to 2022-2023. Mountain View School also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.8%, which is much higher than the surrounding schools and the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (38.1%), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

In comparison to nearby schools, Mountain View School's performance lags behind some higher-performing institutions, such as Conners-Emerson School in Bar Harbor. The school's racial makeup is also significantly less diverse, with 93.2% of students being white, in contrast to the more diverse student populations at some of the surrounding schools. These factors suggest that Mountain View School may face challenges in maintaining or improving student outcomes and addressing issues of equity and inclusion within the school community.

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.
