Summary

Mountain View School is a K–5 school serving 406 students in Rio Rico, Arizona, in the Santa Cruz Valley Unified District. Its latest results show that students are performing below the state in both tested subjects: 30% were proficient in English language arts (ELA), compared with 41% statewide, and 23% were proficient in math, compared with 33% statewide. The most important takeaway is that Mountain View’s proficiency is below the state level in both ELA and math.

Compared with nearby K–5 schools, Mountain View is around the middle in ELA and somewhat stronger in math. Its 30% ELA proficiency is about 2 points below the nearby average of 32%, while its 23% math proficiency is 4 points below the nearby average of 27%. Math is stronger relative to its district: Mountain View is 5 points above the district’s 18% result and ties San Cayetano Elementary School for the highest all-grade math result among the three schools in the district. Grade-level results vary: third-grade math was 34%, above the district’s 20%, while fifth-grade math was 18%, below the district’s 22% and the lowest among nearby K–5 schools with reported results.

Science proficiency has been nearly flat: it was 25% in 2022–2023, 26% in 2023–2024 and 24% in 2024–2025. In the latest year, that was 10 points below the state but 4 points above the district and 2 points above the nearby-school average. SchoolDigger places Mountain View at the 22nd statewide percentile with 1 star for 2025–2026, down from the 26th percentile in each of the two prior reported years; its student–teacher ratio was 19, compared with a nearby average of 17.7, and its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 83% in 2022–2023. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves English Language Learner students ranked the group at the 7th percentile in 2022–2023, down from the 39th percentile in 2017–2018. Its measure for homeless students was notably higher, at the 68th percentile in 2022–2023, compared with the school’s overall 29th percentile that year.
