Mountain View Elementary School

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hays, North Carolina, serving 464 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Wilkes County Schools district.

While Mountain View Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.68%) compared to nearby schools like Moravian Falls Elementary (52.34% white) and North Wilkesboro Elementary (35.18% white), its academic performance lags behind these more diverse schools. For example, Mountain View's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 53.8% in 2023-2024, compared to 97.1% at Moravian Falls and 82.5% at Millers Creek Elementary.

Mountain View Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 492 out of 1,489 North Carolina elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 904 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom half of schools in the state with a 2-star rating. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its female students, white students, and disabled students all performing relatively poorly compared to their peers. With an exceptionally high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (99.38% in 2022-2023), Mountain View Elementary faces challenges in serving its predominantly low-income 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.
