Over the past few years, Monroe Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 92nd out of 382 Oregon middle schools in 2016-2017 to 223rd out of 371 in 2023-2024.

This performance is lower compared to nearby schools like Spencer Butte Middle School and Roosevelt Middle School, which have maintained higher rankings and 4-star ratings. The school performs relatively well for its male and Hispanic student populations, but struggles with its female, White, and low socioeconomic status student populations, ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of Oregon middle schools.

This academic performance is generally lower than nearby schools like Spencer Butte Middle School and Roosevelt Middle School, which have higher proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Monroe Middle School has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 54.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district average, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

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.

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.
