Mountain View Elementary School

Kids are sweet. Many experienced and caring teachers like Stager in first grade Very low accountability in upper grades No behavior control - 5th grade is awful! Some teachers are ready to retire, and won't give homework, won't connect with students and parents, and are teaching the gifted classes - what a shame! Principal has no leadership and no tight focus or organization Since the new principal has been at the school, scores have been dropping every year - they must start to pull things together!!! Really, with LAUSD, I guess anything goes, including continuous drop in scores and nothing that gets done!

I have been at mountain view for five years and from experience, it is a very good school. The campus is very clean and safe. The teachers are great and there is free after school intervention! I recommend that you take your child to this school and they will succeed in all areas.

I am a parent of 3 boys who went to this school, you have to be involve in pta to be able to have good experience in this school, the education is good is you are lucky to get a good teacher and you need to request a head of time and visit the school before you enroll your little one. to much politics. you child have to be an outstanding student to be able to get the attencion that you are looking for. some teacher pick their student too to be able to teach, but no all of the kids gets lucky to be in their classroom. good luck. now they have a new principal that I am not familiar with, but the previous ones were horrible. so my advise to you is to be involve in pta and visit the school often as you can .

I was nervous about my child attending a school in the LA unified district, but Mountain View is a wonderful school! The teachers are great, the principal and the PTA are all first class. I'm so glad my kids will both be there this year.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and motivation of the faculty, and the strong academic program this small school offers. Within the confines of limited resources of LAUSD the school is giving at least a comparable education that I used to pay good money for. With a school like this I wonder what justifies paying the high real estate price for the neighboring towns where all parents flock for 'better schools'

This school is the best school in terms of API in the local vicinity. I checked out some other schools in the area, but felt almost immediately that this is the school that I wanted my daughter attend. The school grounds are located in a better neighborhood than the others offering open enrollment and also there is more diversity in regards to the students attending this school. I love the enthusiasm and effort of my daughter's Kinder teacher, Miss S.. She is an outsanding teacher who produces outstanding students. We are extremely thankful to her.
