Summary

Monroe Elementary School - MSE is a public elementary school in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, currently ranking 419 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Monroe Elementary's key strengths is its consistent performance in math, consistently outpacing the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, 56.46% of Monroe students were proficient or better in math, compared to 51.94% for the district and 45.21% for the state. However, the school's reading performance is more mixed, with some grade levels performing above the district and state, while others lag behind. The school's diverse student population and strong performance among specific subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, are also notable.

Compared to nearby schools, Monroe Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing elementary school within its district and the surrounding area. While the nearby schools in the Brooklyn Center Community Schools district consistently lag behind the state averages in both math and reading, Monroe's performance is generally stronger. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and the challenges faced by its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students set it apart from some of the nearby schools in the Fridley and Brooklyn Center districts, which have even higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
