Summary:
The city of Monticello, Utah is home to two schools - Monticello School, an elementary school, and Monticello High, a high school. These schools are part of the San Juan District and serve a diverse student population.
Monticello School has demonstrated strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in RISE assessments exceeding district and state averages in several grade levels for Math, Science, and English Language Arts. This suggests the elementary school is effectively supporting student learning. In contrast, Monticello High has a concerning 9.4% dropout rate, despite a respectable 88.8% four-year graduation rate, indicating an area that may require further investigation and targeted interventions.
Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, at 23.8% for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, a significant population of economically disadvantaged students is evident, with 49.84% of Monticello School students and 44.7% of Monticello High students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The district may need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student outcomes and ensure equitable access to resources and support.
