Summary:
The city of Monticello, Minnesota is home to 17 schools serving students from elementary through high school, primarily under the Monticello Public School District. While the district as a whole maintains a strong 4-star rating, the data reveals significant variation in the performance of individual schools within the district.
Some standout schools include Monticello Nature Based Education, an exceptional elementary school that ranks 4th out of 869 Minnesota elementary schools, and Monticello Senior High, a consistently high-performing high school with a 94.2% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Monticello Alternative Program has a much lower graduation rate of 47.6% and a higher dropout rate of 4.7%.
The data also suggests a correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance, with higher-poverty schools like Eastview Education Center generally underperforming compared to their lower-poverty counterparts. Additionally, the presence of specialized schools like those operated by Sherburne and Northern Wright Speci highlights the district's efforts to cater to the diverse needs of its student population.
