Mountain View School District, located in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley, is a K-8 school district comprised of ten elementary schools, one intermediate school, one middle school, an alternative education program for students in grades 4-8, and a Children’s Center and Head Start/ State Preschool program serving over 240 children. The District, with an enrollment of 10,500 students, serves the educational needs of students living in the cities of El Monte and South El Monte.

To ensure student safety and an environment conducive to learning, a mandatory student uniform policy is enforced district wide.

Teamwork is the key at Mountain View where employees, parents, business and community members actively participate in the educational development of the students. In an environment of mutual respect, the team approach enhances the District’s efforts to prepare the students to become life long learners, as well as self-directed and motivated members of society.

Mountain View School District serves a predominantly Hispanic population in the communities of El Monte, with a population of 100,000, and South El Monte, with a population of 25,000.

El Monte is a historic community that provides a quiet place to live within easy commuting distance of virtually every type of recreation and entertainment. The mountains, beaches, desert and metropolitan areas all are accessible by one of three interstate freeways, a general aviation airport or a rapid transit system.

El Monte and South El Monte are communities that believe their children deserve the best teachers.
