Elementary Schools in Mountain View Whisman

Summary:

This analysis examines nine elementary schools (grades K-5) within the Mountain View Whisman School District in California, revealing a district with strong overall performance but significant disparities between individual schools.

The district substantially outperforms state averages, yet within it, schools like Stevenson Elementary and Amy Imai Elementary are top performers with academic proficiency above 80%, while Mariano Castro Elementary struggles with proficiency below 16%. Chronic absenteeism is a key differentiator, ranging from just 3.9% at Stevenson to 23.9% at Mariano Castro, closely aligning with academic outcomes.

Notably, higher per-student spending does not guarantee better results, as the highest-funded school has the lowest performance. Parents should note that standout schools like Stevenson, Amy Imai, and Benjamin Bubb Elementary consistently rank in the 92nd percentile or higher statewide, while others like Mariano Castro and Monta Loma Elementary show much greater variability in performance across different grade levels.
