Summary

Mountain View Elementary is a large public school in Shelton, Washington, serving prekindergarten through fourth grade with 671 students in the Shelton School District. About 68.26% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, indicating a relatively high-need community. The school ranked in the 25th percentile statewide for 2025–2026, an improvement from the 16th percentile the previous year, but it remains in the lower portion of Washington’s elementary-school rankings.

Mountain View performs somewhat better than the district overall, with 42.67% of students proficient in English language arts and 24.89% proficient in math. Those results were above the Shelton School District averages, but below Washington’s averages of 52.81% in ELA and 43.11% in math. Within the district, Bordeaux Elementary School was considerably stronger, especially in math, while Evergreen Elementary School had lower results. Bordeaux is a particularly useful comparison because its free- or reduced-price lunch rate was nearly the same as Mountain View’s, yet its ELA and math proficiency rates were 53.62% and 46.60%.

Results vary sharply by grade. Third-grade ELA proficiency was 54.39%, above both district and state averages, but fourth grade fell to 30.63% in ELA and 15.32% in math. Math has also declined over three consecutive reporting years, reaching 24.89% in 2025–2026. Among student subgroups, special education effectiveness is the most persistent concern, ranking at the 3rd percentile statewide after similarly low rankings in the two prior years. Mountain View’s student-teacher ratio was 14.9, and spending was $16,872 per student, so staffing and funding alone do not explain the differences between schools. Stronger regional performers such as Southside Elementary, Boston Harbor Elementary, and Griffin School provide higher-performing benchmarks.
