Summary

George W. Munroe Elementary School in Quincy, FL, serves 575 students in grades PK through 4 within the Gadsden district, where over 83% of students come from low-income households. The school has a 1-star rating and ranks in the 26th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, but this marks a significant improvement from the previous year's 4th percentile, driven by remarkable gains in test scores. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency jumped from 44% to 67%, now matching the state average, while 3rd-grade ELA rose from 25% to 43%. This rate of improvement is not seen in nearby schools like Stewart Street Elementary School or Greensboro Elementary School, which showed more modest gains or declines.

One standout feature is Munroe's unique strength in math compared to ELA, with 3rd-grade math proficiency exceeding the state average, while nearby schools like Springwood Elementary School and Canopy Oaks Elementary School in the Leon district struggle in both subjects. However, a stark contrast exists with Gadsden Elementary Magnet School, just 8 miles away, which serves a similar demographic but achieves much higher proficiency rates (e.g., 3rd-grade math at 100% vs. 67%) and holds a 3-star rating. This suggests that the magnet school's specialized programs, lower student-teacher ratio (11:1 vs. 17.4:1), and higher per-pupil spending ($23,871 vs. $15,242) create a dramatically different learning environment.

The most critical challenge for Munroe is its chronic absenteeism rate of 49.4% for the 2023-2024 school year, the highest among nearby schools except for Greensboro Elementary (51.6%). This rate has remained stubbornly high for four consecutive years, far exceeding the state average of 31.4% and undermining academic progress. Despite this, the school's 3rd-grade math success suggests a "pocket of excellence" that could be replicated across other grades and subjects. For parents, Munroe offers a story of recent improvement and a strong math program, but the persistent absenteeism issue is a key factor to consider when comparing it to higher-performing options like Havana Magnet School or Fort Braden School.
