Mount View Elementary

Summary:

Mount View Elementary is a public elementary school in Seattle, Washington, serving 426 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Highline School District.

Mount View Elementary faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Washington elementary schools with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (59.86%) compared to nearby schools and the state average, and its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Mount View has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.82% to 75.59% over the past few years, which is much higher than the surrounding schools. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Mount View, ranging from $11,532 to $20,338, the academic performance of the school does not reflect this level of investment.

When compared to nearby schools in the Highline School District, such as Hazel Valley Elementary, Beverly Park Elementary at Glendale, and Cedarhurst Elementary, Mount View's academic performance is significantly lower, and its student population is more heavily skewed towards Hispanic students. When compared to schools in the Seattle School District, such as Concord International School, Roxhill Elementary School, and Arbor Heights Elementary School, Mount View's academic performance, racial diversity, and socioeconomic status are all significantly lower.

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.

Open Quote Not only is this school ranked in the BOTTOM ten percent of all State elementary schools it condones political activism. I was disturbed by the lack of respect for our national anthem and the flag of our country before a televised audience. I consider the public actions of Mt. View Elementary to be an insult to every American. I blame its administrators and teachers for this. Close Quote

Open Quote It was great, the students and staff made it a wonderful place most of the time. Ms. Wells and Ms. Bohn were good administrators, teacher like Ms. Alcantara made this a great place for kids. Ms. Marbet and Ms. Nelson in the office looked after me whenever I needed help with something. Good leadership can make a difference and Ms. Wells really did. Close Quote

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.
