Mint Valley Elementary

Summary:

Mint Valley Elementary is a public elementary school in Longview, Washington, serving 416 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Longview School District, which is ranked 164 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Mint Valley Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests like the SBAC and WCAS. This is particularly true for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Hispanic students, and students with special education needs. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 78.85% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these academic challenges.

Compared to nearby schools within the Longview School District, such as Columbia Valley Garden Elementary, Northlake Elementary, and Robert Gray Elementary, Mint Valley's academic performance is generally lower. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and fluctuating per-student spending, the school has not been able to translate these resources into improved student outcomes, suggesting the need for a closer examination of its instructional practices and resource allocation.

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.
