Teachers openly say they do not like their jobs. Kids with poor or bizarre behavior are treated as just being "different but good kids" Moral is low, student council is poorly run.

My kid was 100% college ready (U of A) and had a good experience overall. I'm surprised by the overall score of this school. It once consistently scored high every year until the annual standardized test format was changed to reflect a curriculum more like Common Core. That's when test scores went down and the overall score went down. My kid took the SAT only once and his score was good enough.

I feel that Mountain View was an excellent fit for my children.

No complaints. Our kids have been in the Marana District since preschool. We have been overjoyed with every teacher and administrator we have come in contact with along the way. I truly appreciate how Tortolita and Mountain View communicate with each other to help make the transition seamless. I was also impressed to discover MV University at Mountain View.

Mediocre and disappointing. A star student will do well, if academically gifted and/or supernaturally endowed with ability to sleep no more than 5 hours a night, athletes will be revered, but a regular student or someone with learning disability will definitely struggle at best. Huge campus, overcrowded, son struggled to get food, reach restrooms and not be late for class so many times he passed on both. Some of our friends have better experiences but many voiced high stress and work overload.

Horrible! Worst school! Don't inform parents or students about events! Poor education!

I love this school. I dont understand why people are bashing it for the cell phone policy. You can have your phone out UNLESS that specific teacher doesn't like you to do that. Tardy isn't a big deal anymore. So why are people complaining?

My husband and I attended this school in the 1990s and we learned so much. We are excited for our children to also attend this school. They offer so many more AP classes and fine arts and CTE programs than other schools in the area. We are very proud to be Mt. Lions!

I have had four kids in this school, one with special needs. He has ADHD and Aspberger's Disorder. The special education department has not been helpful at all with regards to my child. Also, 2 of my children have been able to ditch and they have taken and bought marijuana at school. This is not a drug free zone nor an A+ school. This school does not do what our kids need, especially now that the economy is what it is. That is why they no longer have a resource officer to police our kids, so now they can get away with more stuff.

Pros: Teachers/staff are generally good; most care about the students and several go out of their way to help them be successful. Many clubs and extracurricular activities are available for the students. Cons: The counselling department is not helpful. It takes all 4-5 counselors 2-3 weeks in February and March to register the students for the next year. You literally cannot get help from any of them during this time even in critical situations. When I finally got an appointment with a counselor, he never showed up to the appointment! I was given a weak apology and told that he was 'busy registering students for classes for the next school year'. Go figure! Counselors don't seem to worry when students are failing their classes either. It would be nice to see the Marana school district open a third high school for the district as both of their high schools seem overcrowded.
