Summary

Mountain School is a public charter elementary school serving 168 students in grades K-6 in Flagstaff, Arizona. It is part of the Mountain School Inc. district, which is ranked 59 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating. Mountain School has consistently ranked in the top 100 elementary schools in Arizona over the past several years, with a current ranking of 160 out of 909 schools.

Mountain School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, 64% of 3rd graders at Mountain School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 36%. In math, 61% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 37%.

While Mountain School outperforms the state and district averages, some nearby schools like Flagstaff Junior Academy and Montessori Charter School of Flagstaff also demonstrate strong academic performance, with rankings in the top 500 elementary schools in Arizona. However, Mountain School's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Asian and Hispanic students, is not as strong as its overall performance, suggesting the need to focus on addressing achievement gaps. Additionally, the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are not reported, making it difficult to assess the school's resource allocation and operational model.
