I'd say that the worst part about my experiences at Monticello High School is that the administration cares more about the students tests scores making them look good than the students actually doing good. I would say that the best part about my experience is that there is such a wide variety of classes you can take to broaden your skill set and knowledge.

Monticello school is an amazing place to attend. The teachers at Monticello are excellent!! My favorite part of the school is the teachers. They all have done the most to help me and other students succeed. It's obvious that they care what happens the their students. Another good thing is the vast variety of clubs that are offered. The school always encourages involvement and are happy to help students find where they fit in. I'm happy to have spent my four years of high school at Monticello.
