Mountainview El

Mountainview EL is a elementary school located in Waco, TX, serving grades -1–5 and approximately 402 students. Operated by Waco ISD, the campus sits about 3.6 miles from Waco News's newsroom and is part of Waco News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 28 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 14.4:1. That ratio is roughly in line with the state average for TX public schools.

Mountainview EL is a traditional zoned public school within Waco ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. Waco News publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Waco considering elementary placement, Mountainview EL is one of the campuses Waco News regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
