Monticello Academy

Monticello Academy operates two Utah schools serving students from kindergarten through middle school: Monticello Academy in West Valley City serves grades K–8, while Monticello Academy West Point in West Point is listed as serving grades K–7. Together, the campuses enroll 1,131 students. Both are part of the Monticello Academy district, which ranks 58th of 92 Utah districts.

Monticello Academy West Point currently has the stronger overall ranking, placing 263rd of 563 Utah schools, in the 53rd percentile, with three stars. Its clearest strength is science: reported proficiency reaches 61.3% in 4th grade, 76.6% in 5th grade, and 69.6% in 6th grade. However, mathematics is a concern because results are below the state average in every reported grade, and 4th-grade ELA is also weak. West Point’s ranking declined from the 76th percentile and four stars in 2024–25, so families may want to ask how the school is responding to that change. Its student-teacher ratio is 17.5, compared with 19.4 at the other campus.

Monticello Academy ranks 285th of 563 schools, in the 49th percentile, but it has improved substantially over three years. Its strongest results are in early-grade ELA and mathematics, especially 3rd and 4th grade. The main concern is a drop in performance in later grades, particularly science: 8th-grade science proficiency is 27.1%, compared with 50.8% statewide. Both campuses report chronic absenteeism of 19.8%, better than the state rate but still affecting about one in five students. Free/reduced-price lunch participation is much higher at West Valley City than at West Point, an important context when comparing results. Overall, West Point stands out for science, while West Valley City shows encouraging early-grade performance and ranking gains; mathematics, attendance, and middle-grade support are the key improvement areas.
