Summary

Mountain View Elementary in Ellijay, GA, serves approximately 668 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Gilmer County school district, which holds a 4-star rating statewide.

This school has a clear strength in upper-grade academics. In the most recent testing year, 5th graders scored 10 percentage points above the state average in both math (54.2% proficient) and science (54.3% proficient). This pattern has held for several years, suggesting the school is especially effective at building skills as students progress. In fact, Mountain View's 5th grade math scores actually surpass those at Clear Creek Elementary, the region's top-rated school, even though Clear Creek outperforms Mountain View in 3rd and 4th grade math. The school also dramatically outperforms its nearby neighbor Ellijay Elementary—despite similar demographics and lower per-student spending ($14,231 vs. $16,125)—by nearly 20 percentage points in 5th grade math. Overall, Mountain View ranked in the 63rd percentile statewide this year, up from the 55th percentile last year.

Another standout trend is attendance. Chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 28.2% in 2021-2022 to just 13.5% now—well below the state average of 17.7% and better than the district average. This four-year turnaround is a remarkable achievement. The school also shows strong results with its Hispanic students, who rank in the 68th percentile statewide, notably higher than the school's overall ranking. While the school's White student subgroup ranks lower (34th percentile), the school's overall upward trajectory, efficient use of resources, and consistent improvement make it a solid choice for families. With a student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 and rising per-student investment, Mountain View continues to deliver strong outcomes for its community.
