Summary

Monrovia High is a public high school serving about 1,455 students in grades 9-12 within the Monrovia Unified School District, currently ranking in the top third of all California high schools.

The school presents a unique profile of significant strengths alongside clear areas for growth. It excels in English Language Arts, with student proficiency far exceeding state and district averages, and achieves an exceptional 96.9% graduation rate with a very low dropout rate. However, the school faces challenges in mathematics and science, where proficiency lags behind both state and local benchmarks. This creates an interesting contrast with some neighboring schools like Temple City High and Arcadia High, which rank higher academically overall, while it outperforms alternative schools in the area such as Canyon Oaks High.

Monrovia High operates efficiently with its resources and has been effective in supporting student persistence and improving attendance since the pandemic. While its statewide ranking has dipped slightly in recent years, it remains a district leader, particularly in graduation success. For parents, the school demonstrates a strong capacity to support students through to graduation, though attention to math and science instruction is a noted priority for continued improvement.
