I love this school! I went here k-5 and now my 2 boys go here. I love the environment, it is very welcoming. Parents are always welcomed to help out and are encouraged to be involved. The teachers and staff are amazing! I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else! The principle is great too, he knows the kids by name and is very involved.

This school is amazing! Teachers and parents are equally involved. There is a strict no bully policy. My children have learned so much and have very caring teachers! I'm so thankful they get to go to a Blue Ribbon school.

I have the honor of teaching at Mountain View School. Our staff is filled with very dedicated teachers, support staff, and of course our Principal. Our incredible PTA works harder than any I've seen and the parents are an important part of the supportive atmosphere in our school. We can't help but be successful with all of us focusing on the achievement of our kids. I am very, very lucky to go to work each day loving what I do. Thank you parents, your kids are amazing!

My son is finishing his second year at this school (on a transfer) and it has been, by far the best school he has ever attended. Mrs. Thopmson is excellent! Her support, dedication, and encouragement have helped my son in so many ways. The principal and staff are also very friendly and approachable. Thank you Mountain View for a great school year!

I love this school! It has the private school feel with only 19 or less students per class. I feel safe and most important my kids feel safe. They have a no bully policy that's awesome!

I work for the San Bernardino County Superintend of Schools teaching an ED class (Special Education) our class is located in the Mountain View Elementary School. We are not part of the Mountain View School District, however the school does make our very special class welcome. My program has been located there for 6 years. The school is a very warm and caring school. All students are accepted. My own kids have attended the Mountain View School for the past 4 years. My son is currently in the 3rd grade. Each year he learn a lot and the teachers work with all parents. There is a lot of welcomed parent evolvement.

I am so happy with this school. The staff and teachers really care about the kids. I actually transfer my kids into this school. I wouldn't want them to go anywhere else. The teachers work hard teaching. The PTA is very involved in everything. Parents are involved. Many walk with their kids to and from school every day. There are field trips for every grade, 2-3 major assemblies a year, family-oriented open house in spring, and a lot of good-behavior reward programs. The school as a whole builds better kids.

Mountain View school is and excellent elementary school with a great teacher staff and principal. Our som attended teh school from grade 1 through grade 5. The quality of academic programs is top notch and focused on the students. Music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities are abundant. The school has an extremely high level of parent involvement and responds quickly to parent concerns.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
