Monmouth Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5 are significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also performs exceptionally well for its Hispanic and Special Education student subgroups, ranking 111 and 96 out of 360 and 231 Oregon elementary schools, respectively, in 2022-2023.
