Mission View Elementary School

Summary:

Mission View Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Tucson, Arizona, with a student population of 230 that is predominantly Hispanic (over 90%). The school is part of the Tucson Unified District, which is ranked 373 out of 540 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mission View's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, only 14% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 22% in the district and 34% statewide. The school's performance on various student subgroups is also concerning, with Mission View ranking in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools for Special Education students and in the bottom 25% for Low Socioeconomic Status students. However, the school performed better in the English Language Learner subgroup, ranking in the top 40% of Arizona elementary schools in 2020-2021.

Mission View's academic performance and statewide ranking have steadily declined over the past decade, indicating a need for significant improvement efforts. While the school's performance is generally lower than nearby schools like Ochoa Elementary, which has similar or slightly lower proficiency rates, the school's relatively strong performance in the English Language Learner subgroup suggests that factors beyond just demographics and socioeconomic status may be contributing to the school's overall performance. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted improvement strategies will be crucial for Mission View to enhance the educational outcomes for its students.

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.
