Summary:
The Monticello School District in Arkansas is home to two elementary schools: Monticello Elementary School and Monticello Intermediate School. While both schools serve students in the Monticello area, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.
Monticello Intermediate School stands out as the higher-performing school, ranking 249 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and outpacing the Monticello School District and state averages in several subject areas on the ATLAS assessments, particularly in mathematics. In contrast, Monticello Elementary School has a lower statewide ranking, and its student population includes a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the school's higher free and reduced-price lunch rate.
The differences in per-student spending between the two schools, with Monticello Elementary School spending $3,183 more per student than Monticello Intermediate School, may contribute to the observed variations in academic performance and school rankings. Additionally, the Monticello School District as a whole is ranked 155 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 2-star rating, suggesting opportunities for improvement across the district.
