Vista View Elementary

Summary:

Vista View Elementary is a public elementary school in Burnsville, Minnesota, serving 316 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District, which is ranked 335 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vista View Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The student population is much more racially diverse, with 35.76% African American, 24.05% Hispanic, and 6.65% Asian students, while surrounding schools have lower percentages of these minority groups. Academically, Vista View consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools, with performance on state assessments well below district and state averages. Additionally, 73.73% of Vista View students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a much higher rate than the 27.84% to 79.75% range at nearby schools.

These factors suggest Vista View Elementary is grappling with an achievement gap, potentially higher student mobility, and resource challenges. Nearby Echo Park Leadership Engineer/Technical and Harriet Bishop Elementary, both public magnet schools, significantly outperform Vista View on academic measures, indicating that specialized programs and school choice options may benefit students in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district.

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.
