Best Public Schools in Mountain View, MO

Summary:

The Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III school district in Missouri consists of three schools: Mountain View Elementary, Liberty Senior High, and Liberty Middle. Based on the available data, Mountain View Elementary stands out as the academic leader in the district, consistently ranking among the top 25% of elementary schools in Missouri and earning high ratings from SchoolDigger.

While the district as a whole faces challenges, such as relatively high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, Mountain View Elementary has demonstrated strong academic performance, with significantly higher test scores in mathematics and science compared to the district and state averages. The school's success suggests that the district may be able to learn from its effective teaching practices and resources to improve outcomes at the other schools.

The Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III district also faces economic challenges, with high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools. Ensuring that adequate resources and support services are available to these economically disadvantaged students could be a key focus area for the district as it works to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students.
