Summary:
Monroe School District is served by one high school, Masuk High School, which enrolls 1,044 students in grades 9 through 12 in Monroe, CT. As the only high school in the district, Masuk's performance essentially defines the district's high school profile, and it is a strong one. Masuk currently earns a 4-star rating and ranks 29th out of 133 Connecticut high schools, placing it in the 78th percentile statewide. The district itself ranks 56th out of 153 Connecticut districts, suggesting the high school is a key driver of Monroe School District's above-average reputation.
Academically, Masuk outperforms the state by wide margins in every subject. On the SAT, 72.9% of 11th graders are proficient in English Language Arts versus 55.3% statewide, and 48.2% are proficient in math versus 31.3% statewide. In science, 69.6% are proficient compared to 50.5% across Connecticut. The graduation rate is an impressive 97.4%, well above the state's 91.2%, and chronic absenteeism is just 9.7%—roughly half the statewide rate of 16.4%. The school also benefits from a favorable 12.7 student-teacher ratio and substantial per-student spending of $20,560.
While the overall picture is excellent, math is the clearest area for growth, with proficiency trailing ELA and science. Science proficiency also dipped slightly, from 71.3% to 69.6% year over year, though it remains far above the state average. Masuk's rank history shows consistency when viewed by percentile—80th in 2017–2018, 70th in 2020–2021, and 78th in 2025–2026—demonstrating that the school has remained in the top third of Connecticut high schools for years. With only 4.12% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Masuk serves a largely affluent community, and its high achievement, strong graduation rates, and low absenteeism reflect a positive and well-supported learning environment.
