What the district plans (2026–27 plan)
For 2026–27, the district’s LCAP budgets $69.2 million across 37 funded actions in 4 goals—with 81% ($55.8 million) concentrated in Goal 1 (Academic Success for All Students). It budgets $25.1 million in services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth ($21.4 million projected in extra state funding), after reporting $18.7 million in estimated actual spending on those services in 2025–26 against $21.6 million planned ($2.9 million less than planned, our arithmetic).
Every spring, the district adopts a three-year plan (the LCAP) setting its goals, the programs it budgets for 2026–27, and the targets it measures itself against. These are planned amounts, not what the district later spent.

“Marked as contributing to high-need services” is the district’s own label for an action it counts toward its required services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. The amount beside each title is the action’s total funds; the plan counts only the part it funds from the LCFF toward that requirement, and where that part is smaller we print it. Baselines, outcomes and targets are printed as the district wrote them in its plan’s results table. The outcomes are the district’s own reporting.

From spring 2025 to spring 2026, 49% of the district’s English learners moved up at least one level on the state’s English test (ELPAC), or stayed at the top (676 of 1,368 students). California: 47%. This measures progress, not fluency.

The plan ties $69.2 million of the district’s $116.7 million general fund budget to its 37 funded actions, filed under 4 goals.

Largest goals by planned budget: Goal 1 (Academic Success for All Students): $55.8 million (81% of action budgets) — largest actions: Programmatic Support and Services to Support Student Learning ($3.6 million) · Expanded Learning Opportunities ($3.1 million); Goal 3 (Supports for Learning): $10.4 million (15% of action budgets) — largest actions: Community and School Safety Programs and Services ($3.5 million) · Enhanced Technology Infrastructure ($2.2 million). Every figure is read from the district’s adopted LCAP PDF with page citations. What the district plans (2026–27 plan).
Does living in Mountain View Elementary decide which school my child attends?
Not by itself. Attendance boundaries, programs, transfers and space all matter. Confirm the school for your address, grade and program with the district.
Where do these results come from?
California’s state tests (CAASPP) from spring 2026 and chronic-absence rates for 2025–26, both published by the California Department of Education. Percentiles, bands and Scope Scores are SchoolScope’s calculations, not official state ratings. Private schools don’t take the state tests, so we don’t score them. Methodology and limitations.
