Summary

Mountainview Elementary is a public elementary school in Waco, Texas, serving 349 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Waco Independent School District, which is ranked 896 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mountainview Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school's academic performance is particularly low, with only 33.93% of 3rd graders proficient in reading and just 19.64% of 3rd graders proficient in math, compared to state averages of 52.02% and 44.88%, respectively. Mountainview's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 21.57% is also well below the state average of 29.57%.

While Mountainview Elementary underperforms the nearby Woodway Elementary and Harmony Science Academy (Waco), it performs better than some other Waco ISD elementary schools, such as West Avenue Elementary, Provident Heights Elementary, and Cedar Ridge Elementary. However, Mountainview's consistently low performance and lack of improvement over the years suggest that the school faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.

Not a fan of the PYP program- The program detracts from state mandated testing- Focus is on being a global citizen at the Pre-K level- Everything is international and the learner profiles are all over the place- www.truthaboutib.com- Kids cannot bring home the PYP journal which makes one suspcious- Close Quote
