Mountain View Elementary

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary is a public school in Etowah, Tennessee, serving 545 students in grades PK-8 as part of the McMinn County School District. While the school has a predominantly White student population, its academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state and county averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts.

Mountain View Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating below-average performance compared to its peers. The school's struggles are most pronounced in 3rd and 5th grade Mathematics and 3rd, 5th, and 8th grade English Language Arts. However, the school's Special Education students perform relatively well, suggesting effective strategies are in place to support this population. In contrast, the school's White, Male, and Low Socioeconomic Status students lag behind their statewide counterparts.

When compared to nearby schools in the McMinn County district, Mountain View Elementary generally underperforms, with Calhoun Elementary and Riceville Elementary outperforming it. However, the school does outperform the nearby Etowah Elementary. The school's challenges may be influenced by its relatively high percentage of White and low-income students, as well as its slightly higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

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.
