Summary:
Columbia Elementary has one listed middle school, Mountain View Middle, serving grades 5–8 with 327 students. Its 2025–2026 results were below state averages in all-grade ELA, math, and science, and below Columbia Elementary in ELA and math; science was roughly level with the district. The clearest academic concern is math: the school was 23% compared with 38% statewide, a 15-point gap.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom comparison among schools because Mountain View is the only one listed, but results vary notably by grade. Eighth grade was the strongest comparison with the state: ELA was 51% versus 49%, about 2 points higher, and science was 36% versus 35%, roughly level. Sixth-grade ELA was the weakest standout, at 24% versus 48% statewide, a 24-point gap. Math was below the state in every grade, with gaps of 11 points in grade 5, 19 in grade 6, 15 in grade 7, and 10 in grade 8. In all grades combined, ELA was 41% versus 49% statewide, an 8-point gap; science was 31% versus 36%, a 5-point gap, making it the closest subject to the state result.
Across 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, the school’s state gaps widened in all three subjects: by about 1 point in ELA, 2 points in math, and 3 points in science. The school’s science result edged up by less than 1 point, while the state result rose by 3 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking also moved down from 969 of 2,783 schools (65th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 to 1,624 of 2,703 (40th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 18.2:1 in 2024–2025 and chronic absenteeism of 12%, between the district’s 8% and the state’s 18%. The reported low-income measure was 41% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; it is context, not an explanation for test results.
