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
