Summary

Mountain View School is a PK–6 elementary school in Layton, Utah, serving 696 students in the Davis District near Adams School, East Layton School, and South Weber School. It is a solid, middle-performing school statewide, ranking in the 59th percentile for 2025–26 and earning a three-star SchoolDigger rating. Its 21.7:1 student-teacher ratio is reasonable but higher than at Adams and East Layton. Chronic absenteeism was 18.3% in 2024–25, slightly better than the district rate and a substantial improvement from 29.2% in 2021–22.

Mathematics is Mountain View’s clearest academic strength, with approximately 52.4% of students proficient across tested grades. Fifth grade stands out: 65.2% were proficient in math, compared with 44.7% in the district and 45.0% statewide. Fifth grade also led the school in ELA and science, suggesting that the school may have effective practices worth extending to other grades. Overall ELA proficiency was approximately 47.5%—close to the state average but slightly below the district—while science performance was mixed. Sixth grade deserves particular attention, especially math, which fell from 49.5% in 2024–25 to 39.2% in 2025–26. The school’s statewide ranking has also declined from the 77th percentile in 2021–22.

Mountain View compares favorably with many nearby schools, including Lincoln School, King School, Crestview School, and Whitesides School. It is close overall to East Layton School and Morgan School, but trails Adams School, ranked in the 88th percentile, and South Weber School, ranked in the 69th percentile. Mountain View’s best path forward is to preserve its fifth-grade strengths while improving sixth-grade math, consistency in ELA and science, and attendance.

Open Quote Communication from the school does not happen and trying to get teachers to respond is difficult at best. Their scholastic program is extremely slow. I have two children that are basically learning the same material for two years. Look else where for quality education. Close Quote

Open Quote Mountain View Elementary School is an exceptional school! It's teachers are top notch, there is a diverse population of students and faculty, and it has a wonderful, upbeat and exciting atmosphere! The PAL and Spectrum Program is also phenomenal, with the most dedicated teachers I've ever encountered. The PTA is very active and is integral to the success of the school and the students who are lucky enough to attend Mountain View. Close Quote
