Mountain View High School

Mountain View High School sits in the eastern part of Vancouver, a city that offers a quieter, more suburban feel compared to its neighbor Portland just across the river — with easy access to both urban amenities and outdoor recreation in the Columbia River Gorge. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, but its science scores stand out noticeably above its other subjects, making it a solid option for families with students who have a natural curiosity for STEM. Families who appreciate a community-rooted school in a growing, family-friendly corner of Clark County — and who want proximity to both Washington's tax advantages and Oregon's city culture — tend to find this area a genuinely appealing place to put down roots.
