Summary

Monticello High School is a public high school in Monticello, New York, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 848 students. The school is part of the Monticello Central School District, which is ranked 791 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Monticello High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates on Regents exams generally below the state average, particularly in math. However, the school performs relatively better in subjects like Physics, U.S. History and Government, and Common Core Algebra II. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 40.6% in recent years.

Compared to nearby high schools like Livingston Manor High School, Port Jervis Senior High School, and Sullivan West High School at Lake Huntington, Monticello High School generally performs worse, with lower academic achievement, graduation rates, and higher dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. These challenges may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at the school.
