Summary

Mount View Elementary is a PK–5 school serving about 460 students in the Highline area of Seattle, near several other elementary schools, including schools in both the Highline School District and Seattle Public Schools. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 63.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its student-teacher ratio is 17.7:1, and the district ranks at the 17th percentile statewide. Mount View’s latest state ranking places it at the 12th percentile, an improvement from its recent low point but still below most nearby comparison schools.

Academically, math is Mount View’s clearest relative strength. In 2025–26, 26.60% of students were proficient in math, slightly above the Highline district rate of 24.30%. Third-grade math was especially encouraging, while fifth-grade math was a concern at 17.24%. English language arts is the most consistent weakness: proficiency was 26.84%, below the district’s 34.68% and the lowest among nearby Highline schools. Science proficiency was 30.36%, representing a strong recovery from the previous year but remaining below the district and state rates. Results have been uneven over time, with math showing longer-term improvement while ELA and science have fluctuated.

Within the immediate Highline comparison group, Shorewood Elementary, White Center Heights Elementary, Hazel Valley Elementary, and Cedarhurst Elementary rank above Mount View, while Beverly Park Elementary at Glendale ranks below it. Nearby Seattle schools generally perform better, especially Arbor Heights Elementary School, though those comparisons involve a higher-ranked district. Key areas to watch at Mount View are sustained ELA improvement, fifth-grade math, science consistency, and support for English Language Learners and economically disadvantaged students.

Open Quote Not only is this school ranked in the BOTTOM ten percent of all State elementary schools it condones political activism. I was disturbed by the lack of respect for our national anthem and the flag of our country before a televised audience. I consider the public actions of Mt. View Elementary to be an insult to every American. I blame its administrators and teachers for this. Close Quote

Open Quote It was great, the students and staff made it a wonderful place most of the time. Ms. Wells and Ms. Bohn were good administrators, teacher like Ms. Alcantara made this a great place for kids. Ms. Marbet and Ms. Nelson in the office looked after me whenever I needed help with something. Good leadership can make a difference and Ms. Wells really did. Close Quote
