City of Monroe School District

Summary:

The City of Monroe School District in Louisiana consists of 19 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 87 out of 122 in Louisiana and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few standout schools emerge. Lexington Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Louisiana, with strong academic performance and a diverse student population. Sallie Humble Elementary School has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and performs well above the district and state averages in both math and English language arts. J.S. Clark Magnet Elementary School is a standout, ranking 26th out of 675 Louisiana elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities within the City of Monroe School District. While some schools, like Neville High School and Sallie Humble Elementary, have much higher proficiency rates in math and English language arts, others, such as Carroll High School and Roy Neal Shelling Senior Elementary, struggle with lower academic performance. This suggests that there are substantial inequities in educational opportunities and resources within the district, which may be linked to the high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population.
