Summary

Mountain View Elementary is a public school in Etowah, Tennessee that serves 557 students in grades PK-8 as part of the McMinn County School District. While the district is ranked 51 out of 139 in the state, Mountain View Elementary has consistently performed in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools over the past 5 years, with below-average proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts.

The school's student performance struggles are widespread, with the school ranking in the bottom third of Tennessee elementary schools for both White students and students from low-income backgrounds. However, Mountain View Elementary performs relatively better for students receiving special education services, suggesting the school may have effective programs in place for this population. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 11.1% to 20.2% in recent years, significantly above the state average.

When compared to nearby higher-performing schools like Charleston Elementary and Athens City Intermediate, Mountain View Elementary lags behind in both student proficiency and attendance. Addressing these areas of concern, potentially by learning from the successful practices of these neighboring schools, could be key to improving outcomes at Mountain View Elementary.
