Summary:
The 61856 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Monticello CUSD 25 school district. These schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with Monticello High School ranking in the top 15% of Illinois high schools and Washington School consistently ranked in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools.
Monticello High School stands out with a 99.1% 4-year graduation rate and impressive academic results, with 45.1% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 31.6%. Washington School also excels, outperforming state and district averages in 3rd-grade assessments and maintaining a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.0%.
While the schools in the 61856 zip code have a predominantly white student population, they generally outperform state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level, and the potential need to promote greater inclusivity and representation within the school community are areas that may warrant further exploration and improvement efforts.
