Summary

Masuk High School is a public high school in Monroe, Connecticut, serving about 1,044 students in grades 9–12 as the sole high school in the Monroe School District. The school currently ranks 29th out of 133 Connecticut high schools (78th percentile, four stars) on the most recent statewide ranking — a strong result, though a step back from its 2014–2015 peak of 7th place and a five-star rating. Academically, Masuk comfortably outperforms state averages, with ELA proficiency of 72.9% versus the state's 55.3%, math at 48.2% versus 31.3%, and science at 69.6% versus 50.5%. It also posts a 97.4% graduation rate and a chronic absenteeism rate of 9.7%, well below the state average of 16.4%.

Masuk's academics are well ahead of lower-performing nearby schools like Ansonia High School, Derby High School, and Seymour High School, but it lands in a second tier versus the region's strongest. Joel Barlow High School posts higher scores across the board (89.7% ELA, 66.9% math, 92.1% science), and Woodland Regional High School also beats Masuk in math (64.7%) and science (80.9%). The gap is most noticeable in math, where Masuk's 48.2% trails those schools by 16–19 points. That is still far above the state average, but math is the clearest differentiator for families comparing top area high schools.

Masuk serves a student body with a very low economic disadvantage rate — just 4.12% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the lowest of all surrounding schools, versus 15.79% at Newtown High School and 37.54% at Shelton High School. Per-student spending is high at $20,560, and the student-teacher ratio of 12.7 is better than Trumbull High School's 14.4, though less favorable than Joel Barlow's 11.0. The school's statewide percentile rank has fluctuated from 96th in 2014–2015 to 78th today, but there are bright spots: Hispanic students rank in the 87th percentile statewide, and special education students improved from the 32nd to 69th percentile over five years. Overall, Masuk remains a solid, above-average school in a demanding regional landscape.
