Mountain View Middle faces significant challenges, including a notable increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 10.3% in 2017-2018 to 32.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were 33.56% and 22.89%, respectively, compared to the district's 42.68% and 31.69%, and the state's 47.04% and 35.54%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for African American students but struggles for Asian, White, and English Language Learner students.
When comparing Mountain View Middle to nearby schools, such as San Gorgonio Middle, Moore Middle, Landmark Middle, and others, it becomes evident that Mountain View Middle is generally underperforming academically. These nearby schools, while not all high-performing, tend to have higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 68.24% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, likely contributes to the academic challenges, as research has shown a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes.
