Mountainville Academy

Q: Is Mountainville Academy a good school?

Mountainville Academy ranks 113 th of 561 Utah alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mountainville Academy is a public charter school located in Alpine, Utah, serving 801 students from pre-kindergarten to 9th grade. The school consistently outperforms the state average in academic performance, as evidenced by its strong Mountainville Academy RISE test scores across various grade levels and subject areas.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Mountainville Academy's 3rd-grade students scored 61.2% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 46.7%. In mathematics, Mountainville Academy's 3rd-grade students scored 74.5% proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 49.1%. Additionally, Mountainville Academy has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 4.92% to 7.74% over the past three school years, which is significantly lower than the nearby Alpine District schools.

However, Mountainville Academy has a higher student-teacher ratio compared to the nearby schools, ranging from 19.2 to 20.4 students per teacher over the past three school years. This ratio is higher than the nearby schools, such as Spectrum Academy - Pleasant Grove (10.6) and Dan W. Peterson (12.2), which have lower student-teacher ratios. This higher ratio could present challenges in terms of individualized attention and support for students, an area the school may need to address to ensure all students receive the necessary resources to succeed.

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.
