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.

I feel like my high school provided me with many benefits to continue my learning and I had many teachers who believed in me and furthered my passion towards my academics. Some of the worst parts were seeing some fights in school, but those rarely happened. I do not think there needs to be a big change for the school because I believe the school is doing well on its own.

It's overall a pretty good school. The academics and class opportunities are good, sports are good, but teachers sometimes aren't the best.

Mountain View High school allows for various opportunities for students. with our cosmetology program and other speciality programs. Mountain View is also an IB school, this allows for further rigorous classes which i enjoy. There is a strict cell phone policy which i believe should be looked at with the administration. Overall i have had a comfortable 4 years at Mountain View.

We came up from Florida for our Granddaughters graduaion ceremony last week. We didn't know what to expect. It was wonderful. It was very apparent the principal and staff were enjoying themselves as much as the students and families were. They obviously put a lot of thought and effort into the cerem...
