Summary

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Mountain View, Missouri, part of the Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III school district. This high-performing school consistently outperforms its district and state counterparts, ranking 353rd out of 900 Missouri elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year with a 3-star rating.

Mountain View Elementary excels academically, with 53.1% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math, compared to 44.8% for the district and 41.4% for the state. The school also shines in English Language Arts, with 63.4% of 3rd graders proficient or better, surpassing the district's 56.5% and the state's 41.8%. This consistent academic excellence is particularly noteworthy, as the school serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, yet is able to achieve strong outcomes for this subgroup, ranking 6th out of 611 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Birch Tree Elementary and West Plains Elementary, Mountain View Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, often outpacing its peers in both overall and subgroup performance.
