Summary

Monticello Academy is a K–8 school in West Valley City serving 689 students, offering a continuous program through eighth grade in an area with many nearby schools that end after sixth grade. The school ranks at the 49th percentile among Utah schools for 2025–2026, placing it near the middle statewide and among the three highest-ranked schools in its local comparison group. Its performance has improved substantially, rising from the 18th percentile in 2015–2016 to its current level. That upward trend is a notable strength for families considering an improving school.

Academic results are strongest in the early grades. Third-grade ELA and math proficiency are both 61.1%, well above Utah averages, while fourth-grade ELA reaches 59.0% and science reaches 62.8%. In comparison, Neil Armstrong Academy and Wallace Stegner Academy West Valley rank slightly higher overall, but Monticello outperforms both in third-grade ELA and math. Results become less consistent in later grades: fifth-grade math is 32.8%, eighth-grade ELA is 35.7%, and science is the clearest concern, especially in sixth grade at 40.0% and eighth grade at 27.1%. Families should ask how the school is strengthening middle-grade science and maintaining early academic gains.

Several school conditions are encouraging. Chronic absenteeism fell from 29.6% in 2021–2022 to 19.8% in 2024–2025, below Utah’s 23.8% rate and better than most nearby schools, including West Valley School and Esperanza School. Monticello also has a student-teacher ratio of 19.4, more favorable than most local comparisons. Its statewide effectiveness rankings are particularly strong for Hispanic students and students from low-income households. Overall, Monticello appears to be a steadily improving local option with strong early-grade foundations, a full K–8 pathway, and clear opportunities to improve upper-grade science, math, and ELA.

What people are saying

by a student
Sunday, April 29, 2018

I have moved to another school after staying at this one and have received bad grades in almost all of my core classes. I’ve only been getting good grades in Science and ELA. This has been causing a lot of stress for me as I have Asian parents that keep telling me that i’m a failure and such (or at least that’s how they make me feel). The kids there weren’t that bad but it’s just the academics. Please fix this. (I have a friend who still stays there too and she is facing a lot of stress with her parents too because of the academics, you might be telling me “maybe you should pay attention” and I try to but I somehow ended up failing and it just makes me feel even more useless than before) Close Quote
