Summary:
The Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Mountain View Elementary and Birch Tree Elementary. While both schools serve students in grades K-5, the data reveals a significant performance gap between the two, with Mountain View Elementary consistently outperforming Birch Tree Elementary on key metrics.
Mountain View Elementary is the standout school in the district, ranking 129 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's students excel in subjects like 3rd grade math and 5th grade science, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. In contrast, Birch Tree Elementary lags behind, ranking 414 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and earning only a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While both schools have similar student-teacher ratios and per-student spending, the data suggests that there may be differences in the quality of education or other factors that contribute to the disparity in student achievement. Additionally, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may impact overall school performance. The Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III school district as a whole is performing better than the state average, but there is still room for improvement, especially at the Birch Tree Elementary school.
