It had its ups and downs. While it isn't incredibly diverse, it has teachers that genuinely care about their students. Teachers listen and work hard to make sure that every student succeeds at MHS. They will go the extra mile. More importantly, the extracurriculars are amazing. Many teams have at the very least made it to Sectionals, if not won State! The music and art departments are also fabulous, and are known state-wide for their excellence. I loved my time at MHS.
Monticello High School focuses well on academics but not enough in performance arts. There is heavy focus on things like SAT and ACT scores which come in handy your Junior/Senior year. The AP classes offered also secure in pushing students to take the test regardless of outcome. As far as things like Theater, Band, and Chorus, there is not enough push by administration in the same way that there is sports. There is also a problem with the school not addressing mental health issues as heavily as they should.
I had a great high school experience at Monticello High School. Though it was a rural area, I was able to take AP and dual credit classes and I was able to participate in both cross-country and track. The teachers are motivated to help their students and they were always there when I needed help. Monticello High School gave the skills and background knowledge to excel in college.
