Summary

Mount View Core Knowledge Charter School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Canon City, Colorado, with 247 students enrolled. The school is part of the Fremont Re-1 school district, which is ranked 48 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mount View consistently outperforms the Fremont Re-1 district and the state of Colorado in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Mount View had 62% of students proficient or better in CMAS English Language Arts, compared to 42.9% for Fremont Re-1 and 44.8% for Colorado.

Over the past 10 years, Mount View Core Knowledge Charter School has consistently ranked in the top 30-40% of Colorado elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 13.6% in 2023-2024 to 27.7% in 2023-2024, and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch increasing from 26.19% in 2021-2022 to 38.87% in 2023-2024. When compared to other nearby schools in the Fremont Re-1 district, such as Lincoln School of Science and Technology and Canon Exploratory School, Mount View consistently outperforms them in academic proficiency and other key metrics, though some of these nearby schools also demonstrate strong performance.

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
