Summary

Mountain View High School is a public high school located in Loveland, Colorado, serving 1,118 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Thompson School District R-2j. While the district is ranked 43 out of 115 in Colorado, Mountain View High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado high schools over the past 10 years, receiving a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

The school's academic struggles are evident across various metrics. Mountain View High School's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in SAT Mathematics, where only 16-26% of students are proficient or better, compared to the state average of 31-32%. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 83.1% and 91.1%, which is lower than the state and district averages.
