Monticello has several academic strengths, particularly compared with the district. In 2025–2026, its mathematics results were higher than district results in every tested grade, with especially strong relative performance in sixth grade. Fourth grade was the school’s standout year across all subjects: English Language Arts proficiency was reported at 60–78%, mathematics at 50–68%, and science at 70–88%. Fourth-grade science exceeded both district and Utah results. The school also performed above the district in sixth-grade English Language Arts and fifth-grade science. However, results were uneven. Fifth-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 26.7%, and sixth-grade science was 37.2%, below both district and statewide results. Several results are reported as ranges, so exact comparisons are not always possible.
Parents should also consider the school’s broader indicators. Monticello’s chronic absenteeism rate was 41.9% in 2024–2025, compared with 32.3% for the district and 23.8% statewide. Its overall ranking declined from the 56th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 21st percentile in 2025–2026, despite strong pockets of grade-level performance. These figures suggest that attendance and consistency across grades are important areas for improvement. The school’s reported per-student spending was $12,467 in 2018–2019, but that figure is historical rather than current. Overall, Monticello offers notable strengths in fourth grade and mathematics, while families may want to ask about attendance initiatives, fifth-grade reading support, and sixth-grade science instruction.
