Monroe Elementary School has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Connecticut, with rankings as high as 5th out of 519 schools in 2016-2017 and 2015-2016. Its students score significantly above the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school has also seen a notable improvement in chronic absenteeism rates, decreasing from 23.7% in 2021-2022 to 8.7% in 2022-2023, putting it below the district and state averages.

These findings highlight the need to closely monitor the performance of all student subgroups and ensure equitable access and support for all students.
