Summary:
The city of Monticello, Illinois is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The schools include Washington Elementary School, Monticello High School, and Monticello Middle School, all part of the Monticello CUSD 25 district.
Among the standout schools, Monticello Middle School ranks 268 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and earns a 4-star rating, with impressive test scores in ELA and Math. Monticello High School also performs well, ranking 185 out of 697 Illinois high schools with a 4-star rating, maintaining a high graduation rate and strong science assessment results. In contrast, Washington Elementary School lags behind the district and state averages in ELA and Math proficiency.
The data reveals some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate at Monticello High School, which is significantly higher than the elementary and middle schools. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at the high school compared to the other schools suggests a potential imbalance in resource allocation across the district. The free/reduced lunch rates at the elementary and middle schools also indicate a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may have implications for resource needs and support services.
