Mountainview Elementary School

Summary:

Mountainview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Morgantown, West Virginia, serving 703 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Monongalia County Schools district, which is ranked 5th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

While Mountainview has a significantly higher percentage of white students (88.76%) compared to the state average, its academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Mountainview's 3rd grade math proficiency was 56.7% compared to the district's 65.1% and the state's 53.2%. The school also struggles to support its special education and low-income student populations, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of the state. Interestingly, Mountainview's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 50th out of 402 West Virginia elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 143rd out of 368 in 2023-2024.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Monongalia County district, Mountainview generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates and lower statewide rankings. Schools like Cheat Lake Elementary and Ridgedale Elementary consistently outperform Mountainview. The school and district should focus on addressing these challenges, including achievement gaps among racial groups and providing more targeted interventions and support for special education and low-income 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.
