At Mountain View K-8, grade 7 math was 18.8 points above state and grade 5 ELA was 15.4 points above, while grade 6 math was 27.8 points below. These schools serve different grades, so their scores are best compared with state results for the same grade and subject rather than directly with each other.

The high school’s average advantage narrowed from 12.6 to 10.6 points, as its ELA gap widened but its math gap shrank.
