Summary

Monticello Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 685 students in grades K-8 in West Valley City, Utah. The school is part of the Monticello Academy District, which is ranked 46 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While Monticello Academy has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools over the past 10 years, the school stands out for its strong performance in math and science, particularly for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Monticello Academy students consistently outperform the state average in math and science proficiency across all grade levels, with 65.4% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 48.6%. However, the school lags behind the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with only 26.8% to 57.2% of students scoring proficient across the grades. Monticello Academy also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 22.1% to 25.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

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
