Summary

Mount View Core Knowledge Charter School is a small PK-8 charter school in Canon City, CO, serving about 250 students and operating within the Fremont Re-1 district. The school currently ranks 411th of 943 Colorado schools (56th percentile, 3 stars), placing it right around its district's overall performance level. Its student body is more economically advantaged than most nearby schools, with 34% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, compared with rates between 52% and 77% at neighboring elementary schools.

English Language Arts is Mount View's clearest strength. Its 57.2% CMAS proficiency rate is the highest among nearby schools and exceeds the state average of 44.7% by more than 12 points. For comparison, Lincoln School of Science and Technology posted 46.8%, Canon Exploratory School 42.9%, and Harrison School 30.2%. Math proficiency is more modest at 35.4%—well above the district average of 25.8% but slightly below the state average of 37.3%. Only Lincoln (38.9%) scores higher locally. Grade-level data show some valleys, including 3rd grade ELA (32.1%) and 5th grade math (23.1%), though small class sizes can amplify year-to-year swings.

Chronic absenteeism is one of the school's most distinctive advantages. At just 6.3%, it is far below the district rate of 23.2% and the state rate of 28.4%, and it improved dramatically from 13.6% the prior year. The contrast with Harrison School, located only 0.17 miles away, is striking: Harrison's absenteeism is 29.7% and its ELA proficiency is 30.2%. Mount View has declined from a 2016-17 peak (131st, 86th percentile), but it has held steady in the 56th–60th percentile range since 2021-22, making it a stable, solid mid-pack choice for local families.

Love this school, the staff, the curriculum, and the small school, family atmosphere! I would highly recommend it. I have another child at another school, that also has excellent staff, but the curriculum just doesn't compare. Close Quote
