Mountain View Elementary

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hyden, Kentucky, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 506 students. The school is part of the Leslie County School District, which is ranked 11th out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mountain View Elementary has shown mixed performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) compared to the state and county averages. While the school performs well in some subject areas and grade levels, it struggles in others. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had higher proficiency rates than the state in 3rd grade reading (65% vs. 47%) and 4th grade reading (64% vs. 50%), but lower proficiency rates in 5th grade math (25% vs. 41%) and 8th grade writing (33% vs. 49%). The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 228 out of 691 elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 612 out of 705 in 2013-2014. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with stronger results for special education students and low socioeconomic status students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Leslie County School District, such as Hayes Lewis Elementary and Stinnett Elementary, generally perform better than Mountain View Elementary on the KSA assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, Hayes Lewis Elementary had higher proficiency rates than Mountain View Elementary in 8th grade reading (81% vs. 43%) and 8th grade social studies (63% vs. 43%), while Stinnett Elementary outperformed Mountain View Elementary in 3rd grade math (75% vs. 38%) and 5th grade writing (71% vs. 27%). The high rate of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Mountain View Elementary (62.45% in 2022-2023) may be a contributing factor to its mixed academic performance, and addressing these challenges could lead to improved outcomes for the 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.
