Summary

Mountain View Elementary School in Johnson City, TN, serves 472 students in grades PK-5 and is part of Johnson City Schools, a district ranked 7th out of 141 in Tennessee. The school itself has historically been the lowest-performing elementary in that strong district, but it is showing real momentum: its statewide standing climbed from the 38th percentile in 2021–22 to the 55th percentile in 2025–26 (458th out of 1,019 schools, 3 stars). Mountain View now scores slightly above the Tennessee state average in math and English language arts, yet trails its own district by about 20 percentage points in every subject.

The school has notable strengths. African American students rank 36th of 498 schools statewide (93rd percentile), and low-income students rank 70th of 823 (91st percentile) — both top-10% results in Tennessee. Chronic absenteeism is just 11.8%, well below the state average of 18.3%, and the student-teacher ratio near 13:1 allows for smaller classes. The most recent year brought significant gains: math proficiency rose from 42.6% to 48.1%, ELA from 34.8% to 42.7%, and science from 40.7% to 45.8%.

Challenges remain. Mountain View is still the lowest-performing elementary in Johnson City Schools, trailing the next-lowest peer, North Side Elementary, by 14 to 18 points in each subject. Its scores align more closely with nearby Carter County Schools — Happy Valley Elementary (42.0% math) and Central Elementary (43.8% math) — than with its district peers, while West Side Elementary in Elizabethton posts much higher scores (67.7% math). Mountain View also spends more per student ($15,530) than higher-performing schools like Lake Ridge ($12,501, 80.3% math) and Towne Acres ($13,568, 87.7% math). A persistent gap favoring boys and a 4th-grade dip in ELA and science are also worth watching.

Many of the issues spotlighted with the statistics above are due to the high poverty levels of families whose children attend this school. The teachers are highly qualified and innovative, and Dr. Stukes is a wonderful principal who strikes a great balance of being pro-student and also pro-good-learning-environment when a student is disruptive. I have had five children go through Mountain View and be the better for the experience, as well as academically prepared. Close Quote

While the teachers I have encountered genuinely appear to care about their students, the principal is a tedious, uncommunicative person. The Special Ed teachers are lax on communicating with parents, lax on securing the proper testing for students.
Generally speaking, this school functions more as a closed environment unwelcoming to adults, condescending, expecting immediate awe and obedience from parents. Worst mistake in our educational journey, enrolling our child in this school and in the Johnson City School System. Close Quote
