Summary

Mountain View Elementary is a large PK-5 school serving 769 students in the Charlottesville, VA area as part of Albemarle County Public Schools. The school currently ranks 760th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools, placing it in the middle-to-lower tier statewide, but it stands out as one of the stronger performers among nearby Albemarle County elementary schools. Among its closest neighbors, Mountain View outperforms Woodbrook Elementary, Agnor Elementary, and Mary Carr Greer Elementary, while trailing Stone Robinson Elementary by a wide margin.

On Virginia SOL assessments, Mountain View's proficiency rates fall in the low-to-mid 60s across most subjects — a bit below state averages but not dramatically so. For example, 3rd grade reading sits at 65.91% compared to the state average of 67.61%. The school is particularly strong relative to some nearby schools: its 5th grade science proficiency of 63.11% is more than double Woodbrook Elementary's 30.49%. However, Stone Robinson Elementary and nearby Sunrise Elementary post significantly higher scores. Mountain View is also on a clear upward path, climbing from the 2nd percentile in 2015-2016 to the 32nd percentile in 2025-2026, with steady gains since 2021.

One of Mountain View's most impressive achievements is its attendance turnaround: chronic absenteeism dropped from 20.7% in 2022-2023 to 8.4% in 2024-2025, below both the district and state averages. The school also spends more per student ($19,014) than any nearby elementary school. The biggest challenge is equity — while Mountain View serves a high-need population, with about 65% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, economically disadvantaged students have not yet experienced the same academic success as their peers. There are encouraging signs: Hispanic students and English learners have made major gains in recent years. With high spending and improving attendance, Mountain View has a strong foundation to continue its upward climb.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, March 9, 2015

Although a large school, it has a great community fostered by the PTO and administration. All of my children's teachers have been fabulous and caring, instilling a wondrous sense of learning in my kids. The Spanish immersion program is the only one of its kind in the County school system.

I wish there were more parent support, but that is not a reflection on the school. The school teachers and administrators are passionate and involved and do great things with the resources they have. Close Quote
