Summary

Northview Elementary serves 503 students from pre-K through grade 5 in Mount Sterling, in Montgomery County. Its clearest standout is fifth-grade Editing and Mechanics: in 2025–26, 75% of students were proficient, compared with 53% in the district and 48% statewide, and at least 22 points above the three other Montgomery County elementary schools.

Northview’s results were above the state and district averages in every reported subject in 2025–26. Its grade averages were especially strong in Reading (60%, about 10 points above the state) and Writing (51%, 16 points above); it also led the nearby schools in Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and Editing and Mechanics. Science was 43%, 3 points above both the state and district, while Social Studies was a narrower strength at 39%, just 1 point above the state. Results vary by grade: fourth-grade Reading was 53%, below Mount Sterling Elementary’s 57%, even as Northview’s third-grade Reading result of 65% was the best among nearby schools with reported scores.

Northview’s overall standing remains strong, but recent measures show some unevenness. SchoolDigger gives it 4 stars and places it at the 71st statewide percentile, down from the 83rd percentile in 2022–23 but ahead of nearby Mapleton Elementary at the 59th percentile. Its average Reading result rose from 56% in 2022–23 to 60% in 2025–26, but eased from 62% the previous year; its Mathematics average fell from 54% to 46% over that longer period. Chronic absenteeism improved from 31% in 2021–22 to 20% in 2025–26, below the latest state rate of 24% and district rate of 33%. One concern in SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves students with special education needs is a drop from the 62nd percentile in 2024–25 to the 42nd in 2025–26, compared with the schoolwide 71st percentile. In 2024–25, 61% of students were free/reduced lunch-eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 15.9, the highest reported among nearby schools.
