Summary:
The city of Monroe, New York is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school, spread across two different school districts: Monroe-Woodbury Central School District and Greenwood Lake Union Free School District. The standout school in the area is Greenwood Lake Middle School, which is ranked 121 out of 1,500 New York middle schools and has consistently high performance on state assessments, with over 70% proficiency in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.
In contrast, Kiryas Joel Village School stands out for its concerning performance metrics, including a 0.0% 4-year graduation rate and a high 20.0% dropout rate. This school also has a significantly higher spending per student at $87,095, compared to the other schools in the area, which range from $18,221 to $27,630 per student. Additionally, the Kiryas Joel schools have a 100% white student population, which is notably different from the more diverse student bodies at the other schools.
The data suggests that there may be equity issues in the Monroe school system, with some schools serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students and underperforming compared to their peers. Further investigation is needed to understand the underlying factors and address any disparities in academic achievement and resource allocation across the schools in this area.
