Summary

Mountain View Elementary is a PK-5 school in Taylors, SC, serving 809 students within the Greenville 01 district, and it consistently earns a solid 4-star rating, currently ranking in the 80th percentile statewide.

This school has some standout strengths that parents will appreciate. Most notably, Mountain View excels at supporting students who often face the biggest challenges. Its students from low-income backgrounds ranked in the 91st percentile statewide in 2024-2025, a remarkable achievement that outpaces the school's overall performance. Similarly, students with disabilities have seen dramatic improvement, jumping to the 81st percentile in recent years. The school also shines in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates (76-79%) well above both district and state averages across grades 3-5. Science is another bright spot, with 4th graders hitting a 75% proficiency rate compared to just 52% statewide. On top of that, the school is efficient with its resources, spending about $12,213 per student—less than several nearby schools that don't perform as well, such as Brook Glenn Elementary ($14,573) and Slater Marietta Elementary ($16,124).

However, there are a few areas parents may want to investigate. Fourth grade math is a persistent weak spot, with only 51% proficiency in the latest year—significantly below the district average of 61% and a sharp drop from the prior year. This pattern has recurred over several years, suggesting a curriculum transition issue. Additionally, while the school serves its most vulnerable students exceptionally well, its Gifted and Talented program has declined to the 33rd percentile, and the school's chronic absenteeism rate (19.6%), while below the district average, still affects nearly 1 in 5 students. When comparing options, families should note that nearby Tigerville Elementary and Skyland Elementary rank in the 97th-99th percentiles, though Mountain View outperforms several other local schools like Crestview Elementary and Chandler Creek Elementary. Overall, this is a strong, efficient school with particular strengths in supporting diverse learners, though math and advanced programming deserve a closer look.
