Summary

Monrovia Elementary School in Monrovia, Indiana, is a PK–5 school of 741 students in the Monroe-Gregg School District, and it is the largest elementary in its local comparison group — bigger than Central Elementary School at 549 students and far bigger than Eminence Elementary School at 111. It ranked 680th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025-26 (33rd percentile, 2 stars), slightly above its own district, which ranks 265th of 374 (29th percentile, 1 star).

The school's ten-year history is a slide. It averaged about the 48th percentile from 2015-16 through 2021-22 but about the 31st percentile over the last three years, bottoming at the 26th percentile in 2024-25 before a small bounce. Proficiency is the lowest or second-lowest among nearby schools: 27.5% in ELA and 39.0% in math. The picture varies sharply by grade — 5th grade ELA (42.74%) is right at the state average, while 3rd and 4th grade ELA run 19 to 24 points below state, and 5th grade math (26.5%) is the weakest single result. A bright spot: chronic absenteeism is 9.0%, better than 7 of 10 nearby schools and roughly half the state rate.

Comparisons are telling. Monrovia's 41.7% free/reduced lunch rate is lower than that of Neil Armstrong Elementary School, Northwood Elementary School, Newby Memorial Elementary School, Centerton Elementary School, Brooklyn STEM Academy, and Eminence Elementary School — yet all of those outscore it. It spends $10,660 per student, more than Central Elementary School or Van Buren Elementary School, which post far higher proficiency. Encouraging signs: math rebounded 8.9 points in 2025-26, and 5th grade social studies climbed from 14.29% to 40.17%. Watch whether those hold while the student-teacher ratio (17.1 and rising) keeps climbing.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Tuesday, February 18, 2014

I am affiliated with Monrovia Elementary and it pains me to say that we have become a very marginal school. Just within the past few years teachers have lost the passion and joy that was once the pride of the community and because of this the students have suffered. The way the school is set-up is that the kids are placed in a three teacher cluster where they have a homeroom but switch between the three teacher to learn different subjects. We are the only school in the state that does this program and obviously there is a reason for that. I am an advocate for change but this has been a complete failure and the majority of the teachers would agree...but what do we know. There are many teachers that have left, retired early, and that are presently looking to leave not only the school but to change careers altogether. I wish things were different but it doesn't look like the present administration has any plans to change its ways nor do they care. I love this community but if you are one of the few that are serious about your child's education than you may want to look at a neighboring school system. Close Quote
