Summary

Mountain View Elementary School in Marietta, GA, serves 837 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly rated Cobb County School District, which ranks in the top 30% of Georgia districts.

Mountain View has earned a 5-star rating for ten consecutive years and consistently ranks in the top 10% of Georgia elementary schools. The school's greatest strength is mathematics, where proficiency rates are dramatically above state averages. In 2025-2026, 82.7% of 4th graders and 81.7% of 5th graders were proficient in math, compared to state averages of 50.1% and 44.1% respectively. Science achievement is equally impressive, with 78.6% of 5th graders proficient versus 44.2% statewide. The school also excels at supporting students with diverse learning needs—special education students rank in the 91st percentile statewide, and Hispanic students also rank in the 91st percentile. Perhaps most striking is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of just 4.2%, dramatically lower than the district's 14.2% and the state's 17.7%. This represents a remarkable improvement from 14.8% just four years ago.

Compared to nearby schools, Mountain View holds its own among a cluster of high performers. While Tritt Elementary (ranked 16th) edges it out in 3rd grade math, Mountain View's 4th grade math scores nearly match Tritt's. The school outperforms its nearest neighbor, Addison Elementary, in 4th grade math (82.7% vs. 63.4%) and has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate (4.2% vs. 8.3%). Mountain View also achieves better outcomes than higher-spending schools like Keheley Elementary and Nicholson Elementary, suggesting efficient use of resources. While the school's 2025-2026 ranking of 84th statewide represents a dip from its 52nd place the prior year, it remains firmly in the top 7% of Georgia elementary schools—a testament to its sustained excellence.

Open Quote Superb staff. Incredibly caring. Purposeful in intention. The Principal knows every child by name. Close Quote

Open Quote We moved from overseas to the US in 2017 and my twins started MVE school. They love the school and their teachers. The only thing I don't like is school is asking for donations frequently. I believe this is the way things work in the US. Close Quote

Open Quote I feel that Mountain View is very traditional and worksheet-y. They are very focused on test scores and my 3rd grade child seems to bring home mountains of worksheets (poor, lower thinking order quality of worksheets) and test prep activities which do not engage her. She says she hates school and never tells me anything positive about her day.

I have also not been impressed with the communication and attitude of the principal and guidance department. When I explained how unhappy my child was in her class and relating to her teacher and peers, I was basically told "Oh, sorry, maybe next year will be better" and recommended to seek outside counseling (for my extremely well adjusted child) to help her feel better about school. Hm, how about being more child centered and creating a more caring environment rather than me shelling out money for counseling so my child can cope with your school?

We are leaving Mountain View for private school next year since we failed to get into Murdock Elementary in the school choice lottery. My older three went to Murdock and had only positive feelings toward school and learning. I wish we hadn't moved into Mountain View school district. Close Quote
