Monroe School District 1J

The Monroe School District 1J in Oregon consists of two schools: Monroe Grade School and Monroe High School. While Monroe High School is a standout performer, ranking 80 out of 268 Oregon high schools and earning a 4-star rating, Monroe Grade School appears to be struggling, with proficiency rates lagging behind the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

Monroe High School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with 66.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 45.2%. The school's 11th-grade science proficiency rate of 50% is also significantly higher than the state average of 32%. However, the high school's 11th-grade math proficiency rate of 10.5% is lower than the state average of 20%, a trend seen in many high schools.

In contrast, Monroe Grade School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates falling behind the state average across multiple grade levels and subject areas. This disparity in academic performance between the two schools suggests a potential need to investigate the factors contributing to this gap and implement targeted interventions at the elementary level. Additionally, the significantly higher spending per student at Monroe High School compared to Monroe Grade School may indicate an imbalance in resource allocation within the district, which could be further explored to ensure equitable access to educational resources for all students in the Monroe School District 1J.
