Summary

Mountain View Elementary School is a public elementary school located in McCammon, Idaho, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 257 students. The school is part of the Marsh Valley Joint District, which is ranked 59 out of 96 districts in Idaho and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Mountain View Elementary School consistently outperforms the Marsh Valley Joint District and the state of Idaho in math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grades, it faces some challenges. The school's 3rd grade math and ELA proficiency rates are particularly strong, at 73.3% and 66.7%, respectively, outpacing the district and state. However, the school has experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.2% to 21% over the past few years, which is generally higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's free and reduced lunch rates have also fluctuated, from a low of 12.86% in 2021-2022 to a high of 26.69% in 2022-2023, indicating a population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, within the Marsh Valley Joint District, Inkom Elementary School and Lava Elementary School stand out as high-performing schools, with significantly higher test scores than Mountain View Elementary School. Inkom Elementary School, in particular, has consistently outperformed Mountain View Elementary School and the district in both math and ELA proficiency across all grades. Furthermore, Mountain View Elementary School's performance has declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic standards and student achievement levels.
