Niche Grade
Located at the north border of Mountain View, La Primaria Elementary School serves students from kindergarten to fifth grade. The home of the Lion Cubs places a strong emphasis on reading skills and participates in the Waterford Early Reading program, a project developed by the Waterford Institute, an educational non-profit. Students between kindergarten and second grade spend time in a reading lab daily. As a result of its efforts, La Primaria received recognition from the institute as a "National Best Practice" site. The school partners with a local community service group to run a farmer's market during the spring. School staff and students work together to run the market that benefits local farmers and provides residents with fresh produce. The school also organizes a spring obstacle course fundraiser open to the community and features fun outdoor activities including a color run. The school is adjacent to the Emerald Necklace, a 17-mile-long nature trail in the San Gabriel Valley. La Primaria's recreational facilities include two play areas, swing sets, a paved court for games and a large field next to the nature trail.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
