Mountain View Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Mountain View Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 233 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 89 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mountain View Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New Mexico elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39% at the state and district levels. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, with lower rankings compared to other New Mexico elementary schools. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 13.4 students per teacher over the past three school years.

The nearby Los Padillas Elementary, Armijo Elementary, and East San Jose Elementary also struggle academically, with similar low rankings and test scores. In contrast, the Cien Aguas International charter school, located about 4 miles away, significantly outperforms Mountain View Elementary and the other nearby public schools. The high percentage of students from low-income households at Mountain View Elementary, as evidenced by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate, likely contributes to the school's academic struggles.
