Middle Schools in Lamont Elementary

Two schools labeled middle schools serve the Lamont Elementary area: Myrtle Avenue Elementary serves grades 4–6 and enrolls 422 students, while Mountain View Middle serves grades 7–8 and enrolls 594. In 2025–2026, their average proficiency was 26% in English language arts (ELA), 15% in math, and 13% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide—about 23 percentage points below the state in each subject. The biggest shared concern is this consistently large state gap.

Myrtle Avenue Elementary led the pair in all three subjects, by 1 point in ELA, 5 in math, and 2 in science. It was above district results by 4 points in ELA, 2 in math, and 1 in science; Mountain View Middle was above the district only in ELA, by 2 points, and below it in math and science by 3 and 1 points. Myrtle’s sixth-grade results are a brighter spot: ELA was 40%, 9 points above the district, and math was 26%, 5 points above; both remained below state results. These all-grades school comparisons are not like-grade comparisons because the schools serve different grades.

Across the two years, average ELA proficiency fell from 28% to 26%, while math rose from 14% to 15% and science from 9% to 13%; Myrtle’s science result rose by 7 points, the largest school-level change. SchoolDigger gives the district 0 stars and a rank of 935 out of 968 (3rd percentile); Mountain View’s 2025–2026 school rank was 2,437 out of 2,703 (10th percentile). Context differs too: in 2024–2025, the reported free/reduced lunch eligible share was 78% at Myrtle and 81% at Mountain View, and student–teacher ratios were 21.1 and 20.1, respectively. These figures describe the schools but do not explain their test results.
