Summary

Mountain View High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 1,123 students in the El Monte Union High district, an area where the vast majority of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The school presents a complex picture, with a significant strength in graduating over 90% of its students—a rate higher than both the district and state averages—while facing considerable challenges in core academic areas, particularly mathematics where only about 11% of students are proficient. This proficiency rate is notably lower than at nearby comprehensive high schools like Arroyo High and El Monte High. Furthermore, chronic student absenteeism is higher here than at these comparison schools, which likely impacts learning.

Despite these academic hurdles, the school spends more per student than several peers and shows specific effectiveness in supporting some of its most vulnerable populations, such as English language learners. For parents, the key takeaways are the school's strong commitment to seeing students through to graduation and its support systems for specific needs, balanced against the urgent need for improvement in foundational math skills and student attendance.
