Mountain View Elementary

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school in Roanoke, Virginia, serving 346 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Roanoke County Public Schools district, which is ranked 12th out of 130 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Mountain View Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, with 59.83% White, 12.43% African American, 11.56% Hispanic, and 3.18% Asian students. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 273rd out of 1,097 Virginia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 616th out of 1,114 in 2022-2023. While the school performs better for female students and students from low-income backgrounds, its test scores in mathematics, reading, and science are generally lower than the district and state averages.

When compared to other nearby schools, Mountain View Elementary performs significantly worse than Bonsack Elementary, which is ranked 26th out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools. However, it outperforms some other nearby schools in the Roanoke City Public Schools district, such as Lincoln Terrace Elementary and Westside Elementary, which have much lower statewide rankings and test scores. Despite these challenges, Mountain View Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may be a positive factor in the school's educational environment.

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.

Open Quote My daughters had two excellent teachers last year. Mrs. Harless and Mrs. Denny. They were always willing to talk to me about my children's progress and really acted as though they cared. It made my children's memories of Mountain View very special. Close Quote

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.
