Summary

Mountain View School is a K–5 elementary school in Bristol, CT, serving 356 students as part of the Bristol School District, a district that ranks in the lower third of Connecticut school systems. The school itself performs closer to the state middle, ranking at the 43rd percentile (2 stars) for 2025–26, above its district's overall standing. With 55.1% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a moderately high-poverty population, yet maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4.

Attendance is a standout strength. Chronic absenteeism has held between 9.5% and 13.2% over the past four years, far below the district's 18–20% range. Upper-grade reading is another bright spot: 4th grade ELA proficiency is 58.3% and 5th grade ELA is 63.3%, both above district and state averages. Mountain View's 5th grade ELA is the second-highest among Bristol elementary schools, behind only Ellen P. Hubbell School. Fifth-grade science (49%) also tops the district average.

Math remains the school's primary challenge. Third-grade math proficiency (34.4%) is the lowest among Bristol elementary schools with reported data, and 5th grade math (38.8%) trails most peers. The school's overall ranking has drifted downward from the 58th percentile in 2022–23 to the 43rd percentile in 2025–26. Subgroup results show a notable pattern: Hispanic students score in the top quartile of their statewide peer group, while White and low-income students score below their statewide comparison groups. When compared with affluent nearby schools like West District School in the Farmington School District, the achievement gap is significant. Still, Mountain View's strong attendance and consistently solid upper-grade ELA results indicate a school getting meaningful results despite economic challenges.
