Summary

Monticello Elementary is a small PK–5 school serving 131 students in Monticello, WI, a rural community in Green County, and it is the elementary school of the Monticello School District. In 2025–2026 it ranks 603rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — 42nd percentile, 2 stars — down from the mid-50s percentile range it held as recently as 2023–2024. Its district ranks 306th of 432 (29th percentile, 1 star), so the elementary school is actually the stronger performer within its own district.

Against nearby schools, though, Monticello sits near the bottom of the peer group. New Glarus Elementary ranks in the 95th percentile, Brooklyn Elementary 87th, Belleville Elementary 86th, and Argyle Elementary 84th; only Ronald R Albrecht Elementary ranks lower. That is despite favorable inputs: Monticello has the lowest student–teacher ratio among nearby schools at 8.6 and spends $18,632 per student, well above New Glarus at $13,496 with a 14.4 ratio. Results are also highly uneven by grade and subject. Fifth-grade ELA is a real strength at 72%, above the state's 53.63% and most nearby schools, and 3rd- and 4th-grade math (64.71% and 58.82%) also beat state averages. But 3rd-grade ELA (35.29%), 5th-grade math (32%), and 4th-grade social studies (58.82%) and science (41.18%) all fall below state and are the lowest among nearby schools.

Chronic absenteeism has improved substantially, from 23.5% in 2021–2022 to 12.5% in 2024–2025 — better than district and state averages, though still the highest among the nearby schools. Trends move in opposite directions: 5th-grade ELA has climbed for four straight years (42.11% to 72%), while 5th-grade math has fallen (68.42% to 32%) and 4th-grade science has declined every year on record. Because the school is small, single-year percentages can swing widely with just a few students, so multi-year patterns are more reliable than any one snapshot. Parents should weigh the genuine strengths against the specific, concentrated gaps.
