Summary

Mt. View Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenai, Alaska, serving 411 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District. While the district is ranked 12th out of 24 in Alaska, Mt. View Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 53rd out of 218 Alaska elementary schools in 2013-2014 to its current ranking of 138th out of 175 in 2024-2025. The school is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Mt. View Elementary consistently underperforms the district and state in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2024-2025, only 23.04% of Mt. View students were proficient or better in STAR/English Language Arts, compared to 37.35% for the district and 32.69% for the state. Similarly, only 28.7% of Mt. View students were proficient or better in STAR/Mathematics, compared to 38.78% for the district and 32.18% for the state. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of certain student subgroups, particularly White and multi-racial students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective statewide subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby Tustumena Elementary, Sterling Elementary, and Nikiski North Star Elementary generally outperform Mt. View Elementary in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science. These schools also have lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a less economically disadvantaged student population. While Mt. View Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just staffing ratios may be at play.
