Summary:
ZIP code 84535 has one high school, Monticello High, serving grades 7–12 in a small-school setting with 211 students and a 15.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio within the San Juan District.
Monticello High shows several encouraging academic results, especially in the middle grades. It outperformed Utah in five of the six reported seventh- and eighth-grade English, math, and science measures, with seventh-grade math standing out at 59.6% proficiency compared with 46.2% statewide. Eighth-grade English and seventh-grade science were also notably stronger than state results. Ninth-grade science is another major strength, with the school’s reported 60–78% range well above both district and state performance. High-school results generally exceed the San Juan District, although the ranges are broad, so comparisons with Utah are less certain in several subjects.
The clearest academic concern is eighth-grade math, where 36.4% of students were proficient, slightly below Utah’s 39.3%, though still above the district’s 26.0%. Attendance is a relative strength: chronic absenteeism was 23.5%, considerably below the district’s 32.3% and nearly equal to the state’s 23.8%. The reported 93.3% graduation rate is positive, but it comes from an earlier year than the district and state figures, while the 11.5% dropout rate is older and needs updated school-level context. Historical rankings were stronger than the current district listing, so parents may want to ask how rankings are calculated and what explains the change. Overall, the school offers generally solid achievement and attendance outcomes, with math consistency and updated graduation and dropout information worth monitoring.
