Mountain View Elementary

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school in Purcellville, Virginia, serving 686 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Loudoun County Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 130 school districts in Virginia.

While Mountain View Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, lags behind the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests are generally lower than the Loudoun County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia, with a 78.79% proficiency rate in 5th grade mathematics compared to 81% for the district and 67.98% for the state. However, the school's reading proficiency rates are closer to or above the district and state averages, especially in 4th and 5th grades. Additionally, Mountain View Elementary's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, and Hispanic students, are generally lower than the overall school ranking, indicating potential achievement gaps, and the school's ranking for disabled students is particularly low.

Interestingly, while Mountain View Elementary's performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, some nearby schools, such as Evergreen Mill Elementary, Lovettsville Elementary, and Catoctin Elementary, also have similar or lower proficiency rates in certain subject areas. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $13,302 in 2018-2019 to $18,602 in 2020-2021, which may indicate a focus on improving resources and support for students.

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.
