Summary:
The city of Montello, Wisconsin is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools (one of which is a charter school), and 1 alternative virtual charter school. The schools in this area serve students from a range of backgrounds, with varying levels of academic performance and resources.
The standout school in Montello is Forest Lane Community School, an elementary school that has consistently ranked in the top half of Wisconsin elementary schools. The school's test scores are generally above the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 6th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, the high schools in the Montello School District have relatively low statewide rankings, with Montello Junior/Senior High ranked 326 out of 431 high schools and High Marq Environmental Charter School ranked 232 out of 457 high schools.
The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is a concern, as high absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, the virtual charter school, Montello Virtual Charter School, has a very high student-teacher ratio of 88, which may impact the quality of education and personalized attention students receive. Overall, the data suggests that the Montello School District has room for improvement, with the elementary school being the strongest performer and the high schools and virtual charter school struggling to achieve higher academic outcomes.
