Summary:
The Monticello School District contains just one middle-level school: Monticello Middle in Monticello, Wisconsin, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 58 students. The district as a whole ranks 306 of 432 in Wisconsin (29th percentile, 1 star). Because Monticello Middle is the only middle school in the district, the district’s middle-grade test results are identical to the school’s, so there is no other local school to compare it against.
Academically, the school’s results swing considerably from year to year. Its state rank moved from 361 of 641 (44th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–24, up to 178 of 628 (72nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–25, then to 322 of 643 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26. In 2024–25, average proficiency across the listed tests was 65.97% versus the state’s 54.42%, with especially strong 8th grade results in mathematics (83.33% vs 53.06%), science (77.78% vs 50.04%), ELA (77.78% vs 53.97%), and social studies (83.33% vs 62.51%). In 2025–26, the school average slipped to 54.61% against the state’s 55.51%. The strongest current results are 6th and 7th grade ELA, both 68.42% (about 13 points above the state), while 6th grade mathematics is the weakest area at 31.58% versus 53.60%, and ELA 8 is below the state at 47.37% versus 54.38%.
Other measures are mixed. Chronic absenteeism is 13.2%, better than the district’s 13.8% and the state’s 17.3%. The reported dropout rate is 5.0%, above the district’s 1.4% and the state’s 1.1%. The school spends $22,240 per student with an 8:1 student-teacher ratio, and 31.03% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. With only 58 students, a change of one or two students can move a proficiency rate by several points, so year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
