Mountain View Middle scores 36 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 38th percentile of 2,238 California middle schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “34% proficient” and call it done. Mountain View deserves a closer read. The school sits in Beaumont, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 33.3% of English learners reached the top ELPAC level, versus 18.0% statewide.

Worth a school visit

Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.

  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.

The road from this school ends at Beaumont Senior High, which sent 54 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 20 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Beaumont Senior High around 2031, and 6 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 63% of Beaumont Senior High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

What are Mountain View Middle's CAASPP test scores?

The gap between those numbers matters: 23.3% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 10.9% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Mountain View Middle rank in California?

Mountain View Middle ranks #1,381 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 38th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 6 to grade 8 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.

Is Mountain View Middle getting better or worse?

Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Mountain View Middle increases by 1.7 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth. This upward trajectory suggests the school is adding measurable value — students leave with higher proficiency rates than they entered with.
