Summary:
The 47368 zip code is home to two schools, Monroe Central Elementary School and Monroe Central Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Monroe Central School Corp district. While the elementary school demonstrates strong math proficiency, the secondary school struggles academically, particularly in standardized test scores. However, the junior-senior high boasts an impressive 93.2% four-year graduation rate, outpacing the state average.
Academically, Monroe Central Elementary School stands out, with 53.67% of students proficient or better in 6th grade math, significantly higher than the Indiana average of 38.1%. In contrast, Monroe Central Junior-Senior High School lags behind the state in both English Language Arts and math proficiency, with only 36.49% of 11th graders proficient in Evidence-Based Reading/Writing and a mere 13.51% proficient in Math.
Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with over 93% of students identifying as white. While this reflects the demographics of the broader community, it also suggests a lack of racial diversity within the schools. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, particularly at the elementary level, where 25.4% of students are chronically absent. The significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools, with the junior-senior high spending $2,088 more per student, is another area that warrants further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation across the district.
