Summary:
The Monroe-Gregg School District in Indiana has only one middle school, Monrovia Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 279th out of 489 Indiana middle schools in 2022-2023 to 324th out of 480 in 2024-2025. Monrovia Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28.22%), Math (26.46%), and Science (24.56%) are significantly lower than the state averages in 2024-2025.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,236 in 2023-2024 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, Monrovia Middle School's academic performance remains below state and district averages. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (49.39% in 2023-2024), indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, which may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.
To better understand the factors influencing Monrovia Middle School's performance, further analysis could explore trends in student enrollment, attendance, and retention rates, the availability and utilization of academic support programs, teacher qualifications and professional development, and the level of parental and community involvement. By addressing these areas, the school district may be able to identify and implement strategies to improve the academic outcomes for students at Monrovia Middle School.
