Summary

Monroe Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 410 students in the San Leandro Unified district, performing around the state average while serving a community with significant economic need.

Academically, Monroe stands out for its strength in math and science compared to other schools in its district, and it has made impressive progress in improving student attendance over the last few years. The school shows particular effectiveness in supporting English Language Learners and students from low-income families. However, performance varies noticeably between grade levels, with a notable drop in fourth-grade scores that the school will need to address. Compared to nearby schools, Monroe generally outperforms most in the neighboring San Lorenzo Unified district, such as Hillside Elementary and Hesperian Elementary, while trailing the district's top performer, Madison Elementary.

Within its own district, Monroe is a solid, mid-performing school, ranking higher than others like Halkin Elementary and Jefferson Elementary. The school's above-average funding appears to support its programs, but there are clear opportunities to improve, especially in ensuring all student groups are thriving and in creating more consistent learning experiences across all grade levels.
