What are Mountain View Middle's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 32.5% of students at Mountain View Middle met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 10.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 22.1% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 10.4% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 445 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Mountain View Middle rank in California?
Mountain View Middle ranks #1,014 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 41st 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 12.8 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth.
