Summary

Mountain View School is a public elementary school in Salt Lake City serving 629 students in pre-K through 6th grade. Located in a high-need area, the school is part of the Salt Lake District. Its latest statewide ranking was 440th out of 563 schools, placing it at the 22nd percentile. That is below the state midpoint, but it is a notable improvement from the 9th and 10th percentiles in the previous two years.

Academic results remain below district and state averages in English language arts, math, and science. In 2025–26, proficiency across grades 3–5 averaged approximately 31.7% in ELA and 36.8% in math, while science averaged approximately 33.9% in grades 4–5. Fifth-grade math was a particular concern at 30.9%, compared with 40.7% in fourth grade. However, results have improved substantially since 2023–24, especially in fourth-grade ELA and third-grade math. The school also has strong effectiveness rankings for English learners, Hispanic students, and students from low-income backgrounds, suggesting that some of its support practices are working well for important student groups.

Compared with nearby schools serving similarly high-need communities, Mountain View School generally performs better than Liberty School, Franklin School, Parkview School, and Edison School. Whittier School is a stronger local performer, while Wallace Stegner Academy reports much lower chronic absenteeism. Mountain View’s absenteeism rate has improved from 55.2% to 38.4%, but it remains above district and state rates. Its relatively high 21.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio is another consideration. The clearest priorities are reducing absences, sustaining academic gains, and improving fifth-grade math and science.
