Summary:
The city of Monroe, Oregon is home to two schools - Monroe Grade School, an elementary school, and Monroe High School. While Monroe High School is a standout performer, ranking in the top 30% of Oregon high schools, Monroe Grade School is struggling, ranking in the bottom 25% of elementary schools statewide.
Monroe High School earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, with 66.7% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and a 50% proficiency rate in 11th grade science - both well above state averages. In contrast, Monroe Grade School received just 1 star and had proficiency rates below state averages across all grade levels.
The data suggests potential funding disparities, with Monroe High School spending $22,268 per student compared to $15,011 per student at Monroe Grade School. Both schools serve a relatively disadvantaged student population, with over 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, the Monroe school district appears to have significant performance gaps between its elementary and high school, warranting further investigation to understand the root causes and potential solutions.
