This School is great... but i have to agree that the Extra-curricular activities are a true downfall to this great establishment. If they want a better establishment, then they need to improve the Extra-curricular activities. Overall i think it is a good establishment, excluding the EC part.

The academic programs at this school are supurb, to say the least. The extra-curricular activities are a nightmare! There aren't many of them offered and none are very competitive on a consistent basis (save girls basketball). You might learn the bare

Academics are strong at Mountain View. Arts education is not, if that is important to you.

I am a former student of Mtn.View High School. I felt the education was decent, but the faculty and administration was not. Small schools may be known for their 'one on one' time with students, but they are also known for stereotyping and favortism. Just ask the former principal.

We moved to MV in 1999 from a much larger school district. There, we had such a high number of educators that the district could be very selective of their choice for teachers. Naturally, I was concerned if MV would be able to provide as quality of an education as we were moving away from. What we

I saw national test scores improve, a renewed interest in math at a critical junction and many times teachers helping students who needed an extra bit of encouragment. In my opinion MVS takes top honors in helping every student become the best that they can be. Thank you MVS teachers and administrators you are appreciated for a job well done! Read less
