Mountain View Middle

Summary:

Mountain View Middle is a public middle school in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, serving 937 students in grades 6-8. This school is part of the Rio Rancho Public Schools district, which is ranked 27th out of 119 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mountain View Middle consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with 65%, 45%, and 41% proficiency respectively in 2022-2023, compared to the state averages of 38%, 24%, and 34%. The school has been ranked among the top 30 middle schools in New Mexico for the past several years, placing it in the top 11% of middle schools in the state. Mountain View Middle also excels in the performance of various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, Native American, and low socioeconomic status students, with rankings in the top 25% of middle schools in the state. Interestingly, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 13.77% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly lower than the state average and nearby schools in the Rio Rancho district.

While Mountain View Middle outperforms the state averages and many of the nearby schools in the Rio Rancho district, there are some notable comparisons. For example, Eisenhower Middle in Albuquerque, which is outside the Rio Rancho district, has even higher proficiency rates and a higher statewide ranking than Mountain View Middle. Additionally, the significant decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Mountain View Middle, from 29.98% in 2020-2021 to 13.77% in 2022-2023, suggests a potential shift in the socioeconomic demographics of the school's 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.

Open Quote I'm a parent of a 3.85 GPA student. MVMS is safe and clean. Most kids attending are middle/upper middle class and prepared to learn. The problem is w/administration, starting at the top. My one/only interaction w/the principal was down right rude. At first I thought she had mistaken me for someone she knew by her actions when in fact having never met/spoke to her. I didn't even know she was the principal until I asked her who she was after she made a snide/unprofessional comment within the first 10 secs. of meeting. She, along with many teachers are quick to mention they have 900 students to deal with. Really, most professionals are in the same boast, we get it, don't use it as a crutch. Also, many teachers are quick to point out that class work/communications are available online (this phrase is used as though it's their collective first line of "defense"). However, good luck sorting through all the different online classroom page layouts and getting access to online progress updates. Not an easy endeavor. Parents need concise, uniformed data. We know of a number of kids who have transferred out due to staff indifference. Overall, OK school but warrants 3 stars realistically. Close Quote

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.
