Summary:
The city of Union, West Virginia has only one public school serving grades PK-8, Mountain View Elementary & Middle School, which is part of the Monroe County Schools district. This school has seen fluctuating academic performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 21.2% to 58% in math and 35.1% to 55.8% in English Language Arts across different grade levels in the 2024-2025 school year.
Compared to the Monroe County Schools district and the state of West Virginia, Mountain View Elementary & Middle School's proficiency rates are generally lower, especially in math. For example, in 8th grade math, the school's proficiency rate was 32.7% compared to 29.9% for the district and 32.8% for the state. The school's performance on science assessments is also below the district and state averages, with 5th grade science proficiency at 32% and 8th grade at 26.5%.
The school has a per-student spending of $12,056 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.7 for the 2023-2024 school year. However, without information on the free and reduced-price lunch rates, it is difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be influencing the school's performance. The lack of diversity in school options in the city of Union, with only one combined elementary and middle school, may also be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by Mountain View Elementary & Middle School.
