Monroe Elementary

Summary:

Monroe Elementary is a public elementary school located in Saint Charles, Missouri, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 388 students. The school is part of the St. Charles R-VI school district, which is ranked 50 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the notable aspects of Monroe Elementary is its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (14.95%) and African American (11.08%) students compared to some nearby schools. This diversity can provide a more inclusive learning environment for students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages in both mathematics and English language arts, particularly for specific student subgroups like Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students. The school's high percentage of students (52.84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch also indicates a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which may impact the school's resources and the needs of its student population.

Over the past several years, Monroe Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated, suggesting inconsistent performance. When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Lincoln Elementary, Monroe Elementary generally performs on par or slightly below in terms of academic achievement. However, some nearby schools consistently outperform Monroe Elementary and the district and state averages, indicating potential opportunities to learn from their best practices. Despite these challenges, Monroe Elementary's per-student spending has increased in recent years, which may indicate a focus on improving resources and support for students, potentially leading to improved academic outcomes in the future.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote At Monroe you can really tell the teachers care about their children. The hallways are lined with student work providing a warm feeling. They have a thing called families where each child belongs to a smaller group of kids. They all have town hall meetings and trimester awards assemblies that recognize children for their efforts.

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.
