Summary

Monroe Middle School is a public middle school located in Eugene, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 515 students. It is part of the Eugene School District 4J, which is ranked 20 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Monroe Middle School is part of a well-regarded school district, the school itself faces several challenges. Its academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.6% of 6th graders, 39.6% of 7th graders, and 30.2% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 51.5%, 49.8%, and 47.9%, respectively. The school's performance in mathematics is even lower, with only 23.7% of 6th graders, 33.3% of 7th graders, and 16.5% of 8th graders proficient or better, compared to the district averages of 32.8%, 39.2%, and 35.3%.

Monroe Middle School also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 38.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.9% to 64.47% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. When compared to other middle schools in the Eugene School District 4J, such as Roosevelt Middle School, Monroe Middle School generally performs worse academically, with proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points lower in many cases. However, the school's performance for special education students is relatively strong compared to other schools in the district.
