Summary

Mountain View Middle School is a public school serving approximately 880 students in grades 5–8 in Goffstown, a suburban community near Manchester, New Hampshire, and is part of the Goffstown School District. The school ranks 42nd among New Hampshire middle schools, placing it in the 70th percentile and earning four stars. This is a notable improvement from the previous year, when it ranked in the 55th percentile. Mountain View is a solid upper-middle-performing school statewide and performs considerably better than most nearby Manchester-area options.

Academically, reading is the school’s clearest strength. In 2025–26, 62% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 55% statewide, and Mountain View exceeded state averages in every grade. Mathematics proficiency was 47%, three points above the state rate, while science was 40%, two points above the state rate. All three subjects improved from the prior year, with the largest gains in reading and science. Math performance varies by grade: sixth grade was especially strong at 55% proficient, but fifth grade was slightly below the state average. Compared with nearby schools, Mountain View trails higher-performing Bow Memorial School, David R. Cawley Middle School, and Ross A. Lurgio Middle School, but is well ahead of The Founders Academy Charter School and the Manchester schools in the comparison group.

Mountain View’s large enrollment makes its results notable compared with smaller high-performing schools nearby. Its student-teacher ratio of 12.7 is moderate for the comparison group. Important areas for continued improvement include science, fifth-grade math, and outcomes for students receiving special education services, whose subgroup ranking is lower than the school’s overall ranking. Families may also want to ask about intervention programs, support during grade transitions, and how the school is addressing differences in student outcomes. Overall, Mountain View appears to offer a stable, improving academic environment with particularly dependable reading performance.
