Summary:
The Monticello School District has one elementary school, Monticello Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 124 students. While the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 1, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 468th out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 597th out of 1,044 in 2024-2025.
Monticello Elementary's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is mixed compared to state averages. The school scored above the state average in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts, but below the state average in 3rd grade. In math, the school scored above the state average in 3rd grade, but below the state average in 4th and 5th grades. Additionally, the school's 4th grade scores in social studies and science were below the state average.
The school also faces challenges related to student demographics and attendance. Monticello Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 33.87% in 2023-2024, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in the same year, which is higher than the state average. These factors can often be associated with lower academic performance and may require additional support and resources to address.
