SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 94% of California elementary schools

Summary

Located in the Santa Barbara area, Mountain View Elementary serves 351 students in grades K–6. In 2025–2026, 83% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 77% in math, and 56% in science. Its clearest distinction is its academic strength: among nearby K–6 schools with results reported, Mountain View led in ELA and math.

Mountain View’s ELA and math results were well above local and state averages. ELA proficiency was 21 points above the Goleta Union Elementary district and 34 points above California; math was 22 points above the district and 39 above the state. It also led nearby schools, ahead of Foothill Elementary by 6 points in ELA and 6 in math. Science is a relative weak spot compared with its other subjects: Mountain View ranked third nearby, behind Foothill at 64% and Monte Vista Elementary at 63%, though its 56% was still above district and state rates. Results also differ by grade: sixth-grade math was 84%, compared with 62% in fifth grade, the school’s lowest math result.

Science is the main trend to watch. Proficiency fell from 77% in 2023–2024 to 60% in 2024–2025 and 56% in 2025–2026; despite that decline, the latest result remained 20 points above the state. SchoolDigger rated Mountain View at the 94th percentile, ranked it 327th of 5,804 schools, and awarded it five stars in 2025–2026. For context, its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 19.5, below the nearby-school average of 21, and 17% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest rate among nearby schools with the same measure and year. These figures describe the school’s context but do not explain its test results.
