Mountain View Elementary

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school in Morganton, North Carolina, serving 677 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Burke County Schools district, which is ranked 110 out of 242 districts in the state.

Mountain View Elementary stands out for its high percentage of Hispanic students (45.35%), which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Valdese Elementary, Glen Alpine Elementary, and Drexel Elementary. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by EOG (End-of-Grade) test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency (28.8%) was significantly below the district (46.4%) and state (48.7%) averages. Additionally, Mountain View Elementary has a very high percentage of students (85.38%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The school's statewide ranking among North Carolina elementary schools has been consistently low, ranging from 926 out of 1,502 schools in 2022-2023 to 1,167 out of 1,473 schools in 2018-2019, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's Hispanic students perform better than the overall school, the performance of special education students and multi-racial students is very poor. These factors suggest that Mountain View Elementary may face significant challenges in terms of resources, teacher quality, and addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population.

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.
