Mountain View Elementary

Summary:

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school in Simi Valley, California, serving 462 students in grades K-6 and part of the Simi Valley Unified School District.

While Mountain View Elementary provides education to a significant number of students, its academic performance lags behind nearby schools in the district. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests like the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy at Mountain View Elementary ranged from 30.23% to 47.46%, compared to the district's range of 43.6% to 55.27% and the state's range of 45.82% to 47.37%. Similarly, in Mathematics, Mountain View Elementary's proficiency rates ranged from 27.27% to 44.07%, while the district and state had higher ranges. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.6% in 2020-2021 to 34.9% in 2021-2022 and 29.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district's rates.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Vista Elementary, Hollow Hills Elementary, and Crestview Elementary, Mountain View Elementary's performance is consistently lower, with proficiency rates often exceeding 60% and even reaching as high as 87.78% in 5th grade English Language Arts/Literacy at Vista Elementary. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and White students, is particularly concerning, with rankings in the bottom half of California elementary schools. However, the school's performance for Special Education students and Disabled students is relatively stronger, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes for all students at Mountain View Elementary.

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.
