Monticello Middle School

Summary:

Monticello Middle School is a public middle school in Longview, Washington, serving 494 students in grades 6-8. The school stands out for its diverse student population, lower academic performance compared to state averages, and high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Monticello Middle School has a more racially diverse student body than nearby schools, with 60.32% White, 25.3% Hispanic, and 13.38% non-White minority students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state averages and nearby schools. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Monticello's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (49.12%) and Math (34.86%) were below the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students (81.38%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 41.08% to 75.88%.

Despite these challenges, Monticello Middle School has some unique strengths, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's Hispanic students perform relatively well compared to their peers in the state, ranking 63rd out of 344 Washington middle schools in English Language Arts proficiency in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance for special education and low-income students is concerning, ranking 171st out of 179 Washington middle schools for special education students and 101st out of 455 schools for low-income students in English Language Arts proficiency.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
