I must admit I am very disappointed in this school. When we were stationed here four years ago, the principal was approachable, and had a genuine care and concern for the school. That is not evident under the new regime. When you walk through the doors, no longer is there a friendly feeling.....I

Unfortunately he had a teacher that did not teach at all and was almost held back a grade, having to attend summer school after the first grade. Luckily since then he has had better teachers and continues to improve, now making all A's and B's. All the staff recognizes me and seem to know my children well. Admin fills their role as do teachers. Excellent extracurriculars! The drop off/pick up system is a pain, but it's a great school overall. Read less

Mrs. H. coaches a step team after school that seems like a lot of fun. I also can't say enough about the aides in this school. I always hear about how they work with the kids and take care of them during recess. Mega-kudos to Mountain View! Read less
