Monte Vista Elementary School, Public elementary school in Nob Hill, Albuquerque, United States.

Monte Vista Elementary School is a public elementary school in Albuquerque's Nob Hill neighborhood, built in the Mediterranean Revival style. Its main building has four classroom wings projecting from a central block with an arched front entrance ornamented in molded terra cotta, plus a square tower topped by a domed cupola. Tan stucco walls, shallowly pitched tile roofs and 6-over-6 sash windows complete the design; the front is one story, the rear two.

The building opened in 1931 as one of the early school construction projects in northeast Albuquerque. The design was adjusted to control costs, resulting in a smaller version of the original concept.

The school's name comes from the Monte Vista Addition, the 1926 development laid out around the planned campus at the crossing of Monte Vista and Campus Boulevards. The building has anchored that wedge-shaped corner since it opened on February 1, 1931, and it remains in use as a public elementary school within Albuquerque Public Schools.

The main entrance faces the wedge-shaped corner where Monte Vista and Campus Boulevards meet, with classroom wings fanning out behind it. The front is single-storey and the rear wings rise to two storeys, so the building reads differently from each street. A separate cafeteria building added in 1965 stands apart from the 1947 rear additions.

The school's plan is aligned to the wedge-shaped corner where Monte Vista and Campus Boulevards meet at a diagonal. Its arched front entrance is ornamented with molded terra cotta, and a square tower topped by a domed cupola rises above the central block.
