Summary

Monroe Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with an enrollment of 330 students. The school faces significant challenges, as it consistently underperforms compared to the Oklahoma City and state averages on standardized tests, with only 21% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 19% in Mathematics, compared to 15% and 12% for Oklahoma City, and 26% and 26% for the state.

Monroe Elementary has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19% to 38.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average of around 19%. The school also serves a high-poverty student population, with 89.61% to 92.73% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Wilson, Cleveland, and Kaiser Elementary, generally outperform Monroe Elementary on academic metrics, have lower chronic absenteeism rates, and serve a less economically disadvantaged student population, despite spending less per student.
