Elementary Schools in Monroe County

The Monroe County school district in Alabama contains two elementary schools: Monroeville Elementary School and Monroe Intermediate School. Both schools serve students in grades K-5 and have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools in recent years, with 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Academically, the two schools perform significantly below the state and county averages in mathematics and science proficiency for 3rd and 4th-grade students. In English language arts, Monroeville Elementary School performs slightly better than the state average for 3rd-grade students but significantly worse for 4th-grade students. Both schools have high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a large proportion of students come from low-income families, which may contribute to their academic challenges.

While Monroe Intermediate School spends significantly more per student than Monroeville Elementary School, this higher spending does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes. The combination of low academic performance, high poverty levels, and inconsistent spending patterns suggests that these schools may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for students in the Monroe County school district.
