Summary

Monticello Middle School serves 525 students in grades 6–8 in Longview, Washington, as part of the Longview School District. The school has recently moved up substantially in statewide rankings, reaching 209th out of 514 Washington middle schools, or about the 59th percentile, in 2025–2026. This places it well above the district’s overall standing, which is around the 35th percentile. Monticello also serves a relatively high-need population, with approximately 73.14% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Monticello is the strongest-performing middle school within the Longview district. In 2025–2026, 51.49% of students were proficient in English language arts, 37.08% in math, and 51.77% in science. It outperformed both Mt. Solo Middle School and Cascade Middle School in all three subjects, with especially large advantages in science. Monticello’s science result was also slightly above the Washington state rate, while its ELA score was close to the state average. Seventh-grade ELA was a standout area at 57.21%, and sixth-grade math was strong at 45.18%, above the state rate for that grade.

The school’s most important academic opportunity is math, particularly in seventh and eighth grade, where results remained below state averages despite leading nearby comparison schools. Monticello improved in every tested subject during the latest year, including an increase in science of more than 11 percentage points. Its effectiveness with low-income students is another notable strength: this subgroup ranked in the 78th percentile statewide. Special education outcomes are weaker, ranking in the 28th percentile, and may need additional attention. Woodland Middle School remains the stronger regional benchmark, outperforming Monticello in all three subjects, but it serves a less economically disadvantaged student population. Overall, Monticello appears to be a rising school with strong local performance and encouraging momentum.
