Summary:
The 55362 zip code area is home to 4 high schools serving students in grades 9-12, including Monticello Senior High, 882 Online 6-12, Monticello High School - SNW, and Monticello Alternative Program. These schools are part of the Monticello Public School District and the Sherburne and Northern Wright Speci district.
Among the standout schools in this area, Monticello Senior High is the largest with 1,330 students and has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Minnesota high schools over the past 3 years, reaching as high as 92nd out of 480 schools in 2023-2024. The school's math and reading proficiency rates on state assessments exceed the state averages, and it maintains a relatively low 4.4% dropout rate and an 84.2% 4-year graduation rate. In contrast, the smaller Monticello Alternative Program serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with 47.83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, but has still managed to match the 84.2% graduation rate of the larger high school.
The district's ability to offer a range of educational options, from the comprehensive Monticello Senior High to the smaller, more personalized Monticello High School - SNW with its exceptional 6.0 student-teacher ratio, is noteworthy. Additionally, the 882 Online 6-12 school provides a virtual learning option for students in the district, with graduation and dropout rates on par with the traditional high school.
