Centrally located in Mountain View, the home of the Falcons is near main roads with retail shops while the city’s Orange Line trolley has a stop right in front of the school. Maxon has a long history in the area. Founded in 1948, it became an important community center for academic and social events.

The school provides instrumental music instruction and a comprehensive three-hour afterschool supplemental learning curriculum. Students participate in performing arts clubs, monthly assemblies and the student council.

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.

the lack o parent paticipation, and increasing student class size, without the proper renovation of techer staff ( best new alternatives, with energy to teach) create a confuse visions of the students future learning abilities. Not accountability to aproved passing scores for students.

this school is so unorganized! The principal always seems to be running around like a chicken without a head. I think they have great teachers, they just need a better leader! (Principal).
