The 84535 zip code area is home to two schools - Monticello School, an elementary school, and Monticello High, a high school. Both schools serve a high-need student population, with 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Monticello High has consistently ranked in the top half of Utah high schools, while Monticello School's test scores are generally below the state average but above the district average.
Monticello School stands out for its high percentage of Native American students, at 7.62%, compared to the state average. This may warrant further investigation into the educational needs and outcomes of this student population. Monticello High, on the other hand, has a student population that is 75.64% White, 14.96% Hispanic, and 6.84% Native American. Despite the district's overall low ranking, Monticello High's consistent high performance suggests it may be a standout performer within the San Juan District.
The data also reveals that Monticello School spends $12,467 per student, while Monticello High spends $14,779 per student. This difference may be due to the additional resources and programming required for a high school, such as advanced coursework, extracurricular activities, and career/college preparation. The higher student-teacher ratio at Monticello School (20.4) compared to Monticello High (17.1) may also contribute to the spending difference between the two schools.
