Mountain View Elementary

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school in Tujunga, California, serving 511 students in grades K-5 as part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

While Mountain View Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, the school has had some bright spots, outperforming the district and state in certain grade levels and subject areas. However, the school faces challenges, including achievement gaps between student subgroups and a significant increase in chronic absenteeism. Compared to nearby schools, Sunland Elementary has similar academic performance, while Plainview Academic Charter Academy significantly underperforms Mountain View Elementary and the district/state averages.

The high percentage of students from low-income families at Mountain View Elementary may require additional support and resources to help these students succeed academically. Addressing the school's declining statewide ranking and the performance gaps between student subgroups, as well as the high chronic absenteeism rate, could be priorities for the school and the Los Angeles Unified School District to improve student outcomes.

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.
