Mountian View Elementary School is committed to ensuring that all students leave with the knowledge, critical skills and attitudes essential to becoming contributing members of society. We want our diverse community of learners to embrace current and future academic achievement as they become positive citizens prepared for the next educational level.

The Mountain View School community has always prided itself on its commitment to providing a student-centered educational environment with the expectation that it will foster student academic achievement, creativity, independence, and responsibility and that students will become positive citizens. The staff is passionate about learning and strives to instill in its students the desire to become life-long learners who appreciate the value of education.

The teaching staff, Parent-Faculty Association, School Site Council and other small groups have discussed methods to improve the learning of our students over the next few years. Based on the information from those discussions and from student achievement data, Mountain View staff will focus on 3 goals over the next few years.

1. The Mountain View staff believes that our students should not only succeed as learners, but also become positive leaders. Staff members will continue to encourage positive leadership in the classroom and on the campus. Students will be encouraged to make positive choices while they attend Mountain View. Positive leadership and citizenship will be modeled and rewarded via: monthly assemblies focusing on character development, trimester award assemblies recognizing academic and personal improvement, and monthly assemblies recognizing student behavior.
2. Mountain View staff will continue to develop and refine programs to assist under-performing students in meeting grade level standards. Title I and TIIG funding will be allocated to the implementation of these programs. This year many of the new students to Mountain View are entering without the skills needed to meet grade level standards. Through the use of TIIG and Title I funds our staff continually revises and develops programs and strategies to meet the needs of new as well as previous under-performing Mountain View students. These strategies and programs include: additional supplement materials as needed at the various grade levels, the continued expansion and refinement of the After School Intervention Program (including supplementing District funding to lower teacher-pupil ratio and supplemental instructional materials), Saturday Family/Child Reading Intervention Programs, the exploration and implementation of computer assisted learning programs, and the creative use of instructional assistants in and out of the classroom.
3. The Mountain View staff will continue to utilize disaggregated student data in the areas of reading comprehension, reading vocabulary, math problem solving, and math procedures to improve student learning. Although Mountain View students posted gains in the areas of reading, language, and math, we continue to have students not meeting the curricular standards. The use of disaggregated data allows us to identify students in the lower quintiles who need additional support. Teachers continue to assess students' needs and develop strategies in ELA and Mathematics to bring student achievement to the proficient level or higher.

Located at 851 Santa Clara Avenue, our school borders Foothill Boulevard and Mountain Avenue. Our tree lined campus and brick exterior makes for one of the more attractive elementary schools in the district. 438 students from a representative cross section of the Claremont community make up our diverse student population. In addition to a quality educational program, we are fortunate to receive District and State funding for our regular school programs as well as Reading Intervention, After School Intervention programs. These include: current updating and upgrading of the computer lab for student and staff use, Art program for all grade levels, Music program, Movement/P.E. instruction for grades K-3 and 4-6.
