Summary

Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, FL, is a large public high school serving 2,213 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Broward County Public School District, and it offers a solid, average academic experience in a region with a wide range of school performance options.

The most critical issue at Monarch is a severe chronic absenteeism crisis: 57.7% of students are chronically absent, nearly double the district and state averages, and far higher than nearby high-performing schools like Coral Springs Charter School (16.1%) and Atlantic Technical College (18.8%). Despite this, Monarch boasts a strong 96.2% graduation rate, consistently outperforming district and state averages, which suggests the school may have effective support systems to help students complete coursework even if they miss many days. However, test scores often fall below district averages, though there is a bright spot: Algebra 1 proficiency has nearly doubled from 25% to 49% in just three years, indicating a targeted and successful math intervention. Compared to its closest peer, Coral Springs High School, Monarch lags in nearly every academic metric—such as Algebra 1 (49% vs. 65%) and Geometry (52% vs. 68%)—and has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (57.7% vs. 44.1%), making Coral Springs a key benchmark for improvement.

Monarch sits in a polarized academic landscape, surrounded by both exceptionally high-performing schools like Broward Virtual Franchise (5-star, 91st percentile) and struggling ones like Andrews High School (1-star, 12th percentile). Its high graduation rate is a key selling point, but the absenteeism crisis and below-average test scores are significant weaknesses that could drive families to other choice options in the area. Spending does not correlate with performance here—Monarch spends $9,950 per student, while Dave Thomas Education Center West spends more ($13,310) but is one of the lowest-performing schools. For parents, Monarch offers a traditional high school experience with a strong graduation rate, but the high absenteeism and mixed academic results warrant a closer look at attendance policies and support programs.
