Summary:
Zip code 06468 in Monroe, CT, is served by 5 public schools in the Monroe School District, spanning elementary through high school with a combined enrollment of 3,417 students. The district is ranked 56th out of 153 Connecticut districts and holds a 3-star rating, though four of its five schools earn 4 stars individually.

Jockey Hollow School is the most consistent performer, ranking in the 84th to 88th percentile among Connecticut middle schools over the last three years, with average ELA proficiency of 73.2% and math proficiency of 62.5%. Masuk High School stands out for its 97.4% graduation rate and strong SAT/NGSS results, with only 4.1% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. Monroe Elementary School is the top-ranked elementary school in the zip, improving to a 4-star rating with 5th-grade science proficiency of 77.2%. Stepney Elementary School posts the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 3.9% and achieves strong science and math scores.
Fawn Hollow Elementary School is the biggest concern, falling from the 86th to 66th percentile in state rankings, with 5th-grade science proficiency dropping 24 points in one year. Chronic absenteeism across the zip is remarkably low at about 7.1%, less than half the state average of 16.4%. While Masuk High School has a very low economic disadvantage rate of 4.1%, the K-8 schools serve families with higher free/reduced lunch eligibility (14.5% to 20.3%) yet still perform well above state averages. Per-student spending ranges from $15,960 at Fawn Hollow Elementary School to $20,560 at Masuk High School, and class sizes vary too, which suggests that spending alone does not explain school outcomes.
