Mountain View is one of two alternative high schools operated by Fairfax County Public Schools and offers programs for students who require a nontraditional educational setting.[3]
The school's student population consists of minors and adults, including students who may be pregnant or parenting, students for whom English is a second language, students who are returning to school after having had their education interrupted by life events, students who wish to accelerate their high school education, and students who have been administratively placed. The school is not intended for students with severe disciplinary problems.[3]
