Academically, Monrovia Middle School faces some challenges. Its proficiency rates on the ILEARN tests in English Language Arts (33.13%) and Math (24.4%) are lower than the state averages (41.1-42.6% for ELA, 31.4-38.1% for Math).

While Monrovia Middle School's spending per student has increased over the years, from $7,587 in 2018-2019 to $8,240 in 2021-2022, it is still lower than the spending levels of some higher-performing nearby schools, such as Avon Middle School South ($10,734 per student) and Danville Middle School ($9,169 per student). Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, increased resources, and collaboration with the community may help Monrovia Middle School improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of its student population.

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.
