Summary

Mountain View Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving 509 students in grades PK-6 in Kingsley, PA, which is part of the Mountain View School District. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, it does perform better than the district average in most subject areas and grade levels.

Academically, Mountain View Elementary School's performance on PSSA tests is generally below the state average, with only around 35-50% of students proficient or better in Math and English Language Arts. However, the school excels in science, with 70-80% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly above the state average. The school also has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged and disabled students compared to the state, which may contribute to its lower overall performance.

Interestingly, the school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as male students and low-income students, are generally higher than the overall school ranking. Additionally, nearby schools like Waverly School, Lakeland Elementary School - Scott Campus, and Lathrop Street Elementary School have significantly stronger academic performance, particularly in math and English language arts, which could provide insights for Mountain View Elementary School to improve its own programs and instructional practices.
