After working at this school for 9 years, I am sure that it is the best place for middle school students. We have an outstanding faculty, up to date facilities, and a wonderful student body. While we do not worry about shirts being tucked in, we do demand the best from our students. Every teacher is deicated to helping all students became the best they can. I am sorry that one parent was unhappy with our school, but it seem he/she was unhappy with the entire town. We welcome all parents and the community to visit our school and see the high caliber of learning that take place at the 'Home of the Jaguar.'

As a teacher, I can understand some of the frustrations expressed by the other reviewers for Mountain View. I've only been teaching there just over a year, but I find that the administration is working diligently to improve the quality of the education as well as overcome the 'ghetto mentality'. Every child deserves a quality education even if their home conditions are sub-standard. The staff believes in our students' ability to be successful and we challenge them every day to go beyond what they think they're capable of. The education of our children is a community effort and I challenge every parent and concerned community member to raise the bar for our students and get involved in their education.

I think this school is a good place kids to learn. The teachers are great and yeah their may be some problems but not that many. I think that every kid that goes to sixth grade to eighth should go to Mountain View. I went there from 6th to 8th grade and loved it(Now I'm a former student in high school)And now my little sister goes there.And she seems to love it there.

We moved here this year from a good school district and have found this to be appalling. The ghetto mentality of the kids make this a horrible place for a student to feel safe and learn. My child has had things stolen and has been called names. This is a poor town where the endless cycle of poor performers/ human beings can be seen in several generations. The sad part is that students that do excel and move on to college never return to this town so there is an endless cycle of crime and people who do not care. Unfortunately there is only one school district in Alamogordo so you're stuck. Best bet is to keep an eye on the school and hope for orders.
