Summary

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ellijay, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 642 students. The school is part of the Gilmer County School District, which is ranked 71 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Mountain View Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Clear Creek Elementary and Ellijay Elementary, the school's test scores on the Milestones Assessment are generally lower than the Gilmer County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 32.3%, compared to 30.6% for Gilmer County and 34.9% for the state. Additionally, Mountain View Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (80.53% in 2023-2024) compared to the nearby schools.

Over the past several years, Mountain View Elementary's statewide ranking has been declining, from 440 out of 1,209 Georgia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 560 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state. While the school has a higher per-student spending compared to the state average, its inconsistent test score performance and high poverty rate among its student population present significant challenges that the school and district will need to address to improve student learning and achievement.
