Mountain View Middle School

The school is very proactive about encouraging progress, responsibility and independence. Mix of good and bad teachers, like any school. If your child doesn't fit the exact prototype student they're expecting, they get left to pretty well fend for themselves. Was warned with stories from other parents with children with IEPs that parents had to fight tooth & nail for. Or the children just get turned down outright, when they clearly need support. Our family had our own challenges when my children were there, one is still in 3rd grade currently. Transferred from another state and they took away half of my one child's support on the first IEP review. It's all about $$ and shameful. I'll be seeking legal assistance if it continues.

Does a great job with gifted and talented students, really prepares everyone for the challenges of middle school. Great STEM programs.

This school has been a wonderful place for my two children whose personalities are different from each other, but are each nurtured and supported in ways that match the individual child. My children are truly happy to go school and have learned to integrate high level concepts through play and experiential learning. We look forward to many years ahead at The Cottage School!
