Monticello Elementary

Summary:

Monticello Elementary is a public elementary school located in Monticello, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 132 students. The school is part of the Monticello School District, which is ranked 223 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Monticello Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle range of Wisconsin elementary schools, typically between the 400th and 500th position out of around 1,000 schools. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, is generally above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-5, with particularly strong performance in Mathematics. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts is more variable, with 4th-grade students scoring below the state average in recent years. Monticello Elementary has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 1.7% in 2019-2020 to 23.5% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Belleville Elementary and New Glarus Elementary, Monticello Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the nearby schools in the Brodhead, Argyle, and Monroe school districts. However, it lags behind the high-performing New Glarus Elementary, which is ranked among the top 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools. Addressing the unique needs of Monticello Elementary's student population, particularly those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and optimizing the use of its resources and staffing may be key areas for the school to focus on to drive further improvements.

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.
