Summary

Mountain View High is a public high school located in Centreville, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 45th out of 129 school districts in the state.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, Mountain View High has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom quartile of Virginia high schools over the past several years. The school has a relatively small student population of 142 and has received a low 0-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. Key challenges include low graduation rates ranging from 40.2% to 94.5%, high dropout rates from 3.8% to 54.0%, and significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.

Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Mountain View High.
