Monterey Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and varying performance across different student subgroups. For example, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 67.39% in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 60.81% and the state's 72.89%. Additionally, the school's spending per student, ranging from $7,442 to $8,479, is lower than some nearby schools, such as Fallon Park Elementary ($10,735) and Lincoln Terrace Elementary ($11,205).

While Monterey Elementary's performance is generally lower than nearby schools within the Roanoke City Public Schools district, such as Westside Elementary, Fallon Park Elementary, and Round Hill Elementary, it performs better than some schools in the Roanoke County Public Schools district, such as Preston Park Elementary and Lincoln Terrace Elementary. Addressing the challenges at Monterey Elementary will require a comprehensive approach to support student learning and address both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success.

The teachers care about the students. They don't just up them a grade unless the knowledge and maturity is consistent with the child and grade. The teachers go beyond to make sure every student has the work down pat. The physical education teacher, librarian, principal all do their best to ensure the safety of the students. I don't think the school is considered through the roanoke city school board enough for feild trips such as field trips like Monticello and jamestown or even our state capital for the kids learning about our history.
