Mint Valley Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests like the SBAC and WCAS. This is particularly true for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Hispanic students, and students with special education needs. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 78.85% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these academic challenges.
Compared to nearby schools within the Longview School District, such as Columbia Valley Garden Elementary, Northlake Elementary, and Robert Gray Elementary, Mint Valley's academic performance is generally lower. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and fluctuating per-student spending, the school has not been able to translate these resources into improved student outcomes, suggesting the need for a closer examination of its instructional practices and resource allocation.
Mint Valley Elementary ranks 827th of 1168 Washington elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.
