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.

My experince at Mountian View was filled with ups and downs, I delt with some bullying and though the adminastration tried their best to help it didn't do much. I felt so alone at times even with the friends I had. The school overall is okay

I enjoy the way Mountain View compressed all OB subjects and students into specific classes, allowing us to be in the same classes with each other for two years, cultivating our own social group. The worst thing I feel is the communication with administration, things are very tense and tight and most of the time we as students don't know what's going on.

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...
