Summary:
Mountain View has two schools serving 258 students: Mountain View-Gotebo Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 8, and Mountain View-Gotebo High School serves grades 9–12. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was lower at both schools than statewide: 10% at the elementary school and 9% at the high school, compared with 16% statewide. The clearest positive headline is the high school’s 2024–2025 graduation rate: 93%, versus 78% statewide, a 16-point advantage.
Each school has a subject where it stands out, while science is a shared concern. In 2025–2026 all-grades results, the elementary school led in mathematics with 25% proficient—equal to the state rate and 6 points above the high school’s 19%. The high school led in ELA, with 25% versus 17% at the elementary school; those results were 1 point and 9 points below the state, respectively. Science was the weakest shared result: both schools reported 19%, 11 points below the state’s 30%. For high school 11th graders, mathematics was a bright spot at 19%, 2 points above the state’s 17%, unlike the high school’s all-grades comparison.
Recent results show a sharp elementary science decline alongside improving mathematics: elementary science fell 20 points, from 39% in 2024–2025 to 19% in 2025–2026, while mathematics rose 2 points; high school mathematics rose 3 points and science stayed at 19%. SchoolDigger’s high-school ranking rose from the 36th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 43rd in 2025–2026, up 7 percentile points; the elementary school’s widely spaced older rankings do not show a current trend. In 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were 13.5 at the elementary school and 15.0 at the high school; free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 63% and 57%, respectively. These are context, not explanations for results. The schools serve different grade spans, so all-grades comparisons are not grade-matched, and the test-score trends cover only two years.
