Summary

Mountain View High serves 1,123 students in grades 9–12 in El Monte, in the El Monte Union High district. Its graduation rate is a bright spot, but academic results are below state and district levels. The most pressing concern is math: just 15% of students were proficient in 2025–2026.

Compared with nearby comprehensive high schools, math is the school’s clearest weakness: its 15% proficiency rate was below the state’s 38%, the district’s 31%, and the nearby-school average of 30%; it was also the lowest among the seven schools compared. ELA proficiency was 46%, below the state’s 49%, the district’s 62%, and the nearby average of 62%. Science is a relative bright spot, though still below benchmarks: 31% proficiency compared with 36% statewide, 37% districtwide, and a 34% nearby-school average. Graduation reached 92%, above the state’s 88% and nearly matching the district’s 93%. Chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 22%, compared with 18% for both the state and district.

Science has made the strongest recent progress, rising 18 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026; ELA rose 2 points from 2023–2024, while graduation increased 11 points from 2022–2023. SchoolDigger places the school in the 43rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 38th percentile the prior year but below its 55th-percentile standing in 2018–2019; it is third-lowest among nine nearby schools with current rankings. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 96.2%, higher than the 95.8% maximum among six nearby comprehensive schools with the same measure and year. Its student-teacher ratio was 19.8. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ranking suggests stronger relative standing for English Language Learner Students: the group ranked in the 57th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 39th percentile that year.
