Summary:

The Monticello Central School District in New York operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 791 out of 874 school districts in the state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

The standout school in the district appears to be Emma C Chase School, an elementary school that consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized test scores in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Robert J Kaiser Middle School struggled significantly on the New York State Assessments, with proficiency rates in the single digits or low teens for both ELA and Math across all grade levels.

The schools in the Monticello Central School District have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.47% at Emma C Chase School to 77.99% at Kenneth L Rutherford School. This suggests that the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may be a contributing factor to the overall low performance of the district. However, the success of Emma C Chase School despite serving a high-poverty student population provides a potential model for improvement across the district.
