Mater Mountain Vista

Summary:

Mater Mountain Vista is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a diverse student population and a focus on academic achievement.

Academically, Mater Mountain Vista's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the State Sponsored Charter Schools average, but significantly outperforms the state average across most grade levels and subjects. The school excels in Mathematics and Reading proficiency in the early elementary grades, particularly 3rd and 4th, but performance declines in the upper grades. This suggests the school may be effective in providing a strong academic foundation in the early years, but struggles to maintain that momentum as students progress through the grades.

Mater Mountain Vista serves a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor likely presents significant challenges for the school, and the school's decreasing per-student spending and fluctuating student-teacher ratio suggest resource constraints that may impact its ability to provide comprehensive educational support. Compared to nearby Clark County public schools, Mater Mountain Vista generally outperforms them in academic proficiency, particularly in Mathematics and Reading, but the nearby Discovery Charter School Sandhill has lower proficiency rates, suggesting it may be struggling to meet the needs of its students.

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.
