Summary

Monroe Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Loveland, Colorado, with 258 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools over the past 5 years and receiving a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance compared to other schools in the state.

This is our second year at Monroe and I have a student in Kinder and in First. I volunteer in the school so I have first-hand knowledge of the teachers, staff, etc. The staff truly cares about kids and works hard to make sure each student is academically equipped and social-emotionally ready as well. I plan my kids being at Monroe until they are ready for middle school - we love Monroe! Close Quote
