Alexandria Monroe Elementary School

Summary:

Alexandria Monroe Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 772 students in grades PK-6 in Alexandria, Indiana, which is part of the Alexandria Community School Corp district. While the school has seen some improvements in recent years, it faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to the surrounding schools, Alexandria Monroe has a significantly higher percentage of white students (86.53%) and has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.1% in 2020-2021 to 19.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. The school's test scores, while improving, still lag behind the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 37.86% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 38.6%. Additionally, Alexandria Monroe has a high percentage of students (64.9% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage compared to the surrounding schools.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Wes-Del Elementary School, which is 10.64 miles away, Alexandria Monroe generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, from 490 out of 1,040 Indiana elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 497 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, suggesting it is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state.

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.
