This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

8/25/2024

Largely, Monticello is a good school, but there are a few teachers who are widely known to be bad teachers and/or immature and argumentative. Nothing has ever been done about this. There are also a few very compassionate and supportive teachers. They are not allowed to teach the classes they want for monetary reasons

First of two kids to finish high school and we loved it. Great school with awesome teacher and staff

Monticello High School is painfully mid --which is not-- a bad thing. The diverse student body is made of all different types of people, you got your low achieving kids chilling outside the school, the high ambition valedictorians; this time inside the classroom, the gangsters camping the bathrooms, the "I can't be bothered kids" hiding behind their laptop screens doing who knows what, and finally, the good ol' jocks. My advice is: pick wisely which group to fit in to.

I went to this school, but lived just on the border of Nelson. They basically handed me a letter telling me I was being kicked out or being charged $10,000 to finish my senior year! They forced me out of a comfortable environment, despite the fact that I was a straight A student and we'll behaved. I...
