Monticello High School had the highest enrollment among Sullivan County schools, welcoming 848 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the New York State Education Department.

The most represented ethnicity among Monticello High School students was Hispanic, accounting for 39% of the student population.

Among the 19 schools in Sullivan County, Benjamin Cosor Elementary School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 802 students, while Fallsburg Junior Senior High School welcomed 688 students and came in third in the 2023-24 school year.

Monticello High School is part of Monticello Central School District, which roughly covers five schools within Sullivan County and has a main office in Monticello.

In the previous school year, Monticello High School also had the highest number of students among Sullivan County schools.

In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to improve students' school performance.

New York State has proposed a $45.8 billion education budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This represents a $1.5 billion increase compared to the previous year. The most significant portion of this budget is allocated to schools, with a total of $35.3 billion proposed. The new budget aims at increasing funds for Foundation Aid by $507 million, mainly driven by rising inflation in the U.S.
