Mountain View School

Summary:

Mountain View School is an elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving around 550 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Salt Lake District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 422 and 512 out of around 550-570 schools.

Mountain View School faces significant challenges, including a student population that is significantly more diverse than the state and district averages, with 52.36% Hispanic, 16% Pacific Islander, 7.82% African American, and 7.27% Asian students. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on RISE tests are consistently below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 17.4% to 23.7%, compared to the state averages of 44% to 48.3%. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.05% to 82.55% over the past three school years.

While Mountain View School faces challenges, some nearby schools within the same district, such as Whittier School, perform significantly better, consistently ranking in the top half of Utah elementary schools and having much higher proficiency rates. Additionally, Mountain View School's per-student spending of $10,717 in the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the spending at some nearby schools, but this higher spending does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes for the school.

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.
