Mountain View Academy

Summary:

Mountain View Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 142 students in grades K-8 in Lowell, Oregon, which is part of the Lowell School District 71.

Mountain View Academy consistently outperforms the Lowell School District and the state of Oregon in academic proficiency, particularly in the upper elementary grades. In 2023-2024, 8th-grade proficiency rates at the school were 82.4% in English Language Arts, 41.2% in Mathematics, and 47.1% in Science, compared to lower district and state averages. The school also performs well for male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top quarter and top 20% of Oregon elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups. However, the school's performance for white students is relatively lower, suggesting a need to address any achievement gaps for this group.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as Lundy Elementary School, Mountain View Academy generally outperforms these schools in academic proficiency, particularly in the upper grades. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 14.7 to 16 students per teacher, the school appears to be allocating resources effectively to support student learning, which may contribute to its strong academic performance and consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

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.
