Summary

Mountain View Elementary School in Longmont, CO, is a PK–4 school with 321 students, part of the St. Vrain Valley School District, serving a predominantly low-income community where roughly 77% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The school has shown a remarkable recent turnaround, jumping from the 13th percentile statewide in 2023–2024 to the 49th percentile in 2025–2026 — an improvement of 336 places in just two years, climbing from 748th to 481st among Colorado elementary schools while earning a 2-star rating.

Academically, Mountain View posted exceptional gains in 2025–2026, with math proficiency reaching 41.3% (above the state average of 37.3%) and ELA proficiency at 37%, a 21-point jump in math year-over-year. The school's Hispanic students ranked in the 81st percentile statewide, earning 4 stars, a standout result given the school's high poverty rate. With a 12.1:1 student-teacher ratio — one of the lowest in Longmont compared to Central Elementary School (16.2), Burlington Elementary School (15.3), or Alpine Elementary School (14.6) — the school has resources to support individual learners. Mountain View's math scores also outpace nearby schools with similar poverty levels, including Burlington (35.5%), Sanborn Elementary School (40.5%), and Columbine Elementary School (25.5%).

However, challenges remain. Chronic absenteeism rose to 26.9%, well above the district average of 23.1% and far above high-performing neighbors like Longmont Estates Elementary School (14.2%) and Central Elementary School (15.3%). Third-grade ELA lags at 29.2% proficiency, and female students ranked in the 25th percentile statewide while males reached the 52nd percentile, suggesting the recent gains have been driven primarily by boys. The school's performance has also been volatile over the past four years, swinging from 46th to 13th to 21st to 49th percentile. If Mountain View can sustain its 2025–2026 momentum — particularly by focusing on early literacy and attendance — it has strong potential to keep climbing the state rankings.

This school seems to be so unorganized, there have been a couple occasions of bullying with my son and for whatever reason it doesn't get resolved. It's unfortunate when my kids hate going to school there. Close Quote
