Summary

Monroe Elementary is a K–5 public school in San Leandro, serving 410 students in the San Leandro Unified area, where ten nearby K–5 schools provide a useful comparison. The central concern is that in 2025–2026 Monroe’s proficiency was below district and California results in ELA, math and science, after declining in all three subjects over the four years reported.

ELA is Monroe’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 37% of students were proficient, 5 percentage points above the nearby-school average, placing Monroe fourth among the ten schools. Math proficiency was 29%, about 3 points below the nearby average, while science was 19%, about 6 points below it and ninth among nearby schools. Monroe was below its district and the state in all three subjects. There is also a sharp grade-level contrast: third-grade proficiency was 44% in ELA and 45% in math, compared with 27% and 13% in fifth grade.

Results have fallen while state proficiency has risen: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Monroe declined by 4 percentage points in ELA, 6 in math and 8 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Monroe in the 34th statewide percentile with 2 stars, down 18 percentile points from 2021–2022. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 21.5, close to the nearby average of 21.9, and 82% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 77%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show notable drops: its measure of how well Monroe serves Hispanic students fell from the 58th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 21st in 2025–2026, while its ranking for English Language Learner students fell from the 90th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 53rd in 2023–2024.
