Summary:
Zip code 82939 has two schools serving a combined 684 students: Mountain View K-8 (grades K–8, 454 students) and Mountain View High School (grades 9–12, 230 students). Because they serve different grade spans, their test scores are not direct head-to-head comparisons. The clearest overall strength is the high school’s English language arts results: its 2025–2026 average was 72.8% in grades 9–10, well above the 55.2% state average for those grades.
Mountain View High School stands out most strongly in ELA, with a 17.6-point advantage over the state, and also in its 2024–2025 graduation rate: 93.9%, compared with 83.1% statewide. Its science result was 65.5%, 12.2 points above the state, while its math average was 48.5%, 2.7 points above. Mountain View K-8 was more uneven: its averages were 3.3 points above the state in ELA and 4.8 points above in science, but 2.0 points below in math. Its strongest individual comparisons were grade 7 math (+18.8 points) and grade 7 ELA (+17.4); its weakest were grade 6 math (−27.8) and grade 3 math (−19.7).
Recent results show different patterns by school and subject. At the high school, ELA gaps over the state widened from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in grades 9 and 10, while grade 9 math shifted from 10.9 points above the state to 7.8 points below. At the K-8, the ELA advantage narrowed from 8.8 to 3.3 points, and math moved from 1.3 points below to 2.0 below. SchoolDigger rankings also fell for both: the high school went from rank 12 of 83 (86th percentile) to 20 of 81 (75th percentile, 4 stars), while the K-8 went from 58 of 149 (61st percentile) to 78 of 148 (47th percentile, 2 stars). In 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were 10.8:1 at the high school and 10.1:1 at the K-8; free/reduced-lunch eligibility was 22.2% and 24.9%, respectively.
