Summary

Monrovia High School is a small 9–12 school in Monrovia, Indiana, enrolling 489 students as part of the Monroe-Gregg School District. The district ranks 265th of 374 in Indiana (29th percentile, 1 star), while the school ranks 245th of 415 for 2025–2026 (41st percentile, 2 stars), so the high school looks somewhat stronger than its district overall. Monrovia's rank improved from the bottom quartile a decade ago (24th–34th percentile from 2015–16 through 2018–19), reached the 61st percentile in 2021–22, and has settled around the 38th–41st percentile since.

Engagement and completion are the standout strengths. The 2024–2025 graduation rate is 92.8%, above Indiana's 89.7% and up sharply from 78.2% in 2021–22. Chronic absenteeism is 8.7%—less than half the state's 16.7% and lower than every nearby comprehensive high school: Danville Community High School (11.1%), Avon High School (10.5%), Plainfield High School (13.8%), Cascade Senior High School (11.3%), Mooresville High School (17.8%), Martinsville High School (27.8%), Decatur Central High School (38.4%), and Eminence Junior-Senior High School (31.1%). Graduation still trails Danville and Cascade (97.6%), Mooresville (98.8%), Avon (96.9%), and Plainfield (96.0%), but is close to Martinsville (92.2%) and Decatur Central (91.0%).

Academics are the main challenge. On 2025–2026 SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, Monrovia scored 47.86% versus 51.9% statewide; SAT Math was 19.66% versus 25.6%; and Biology ILEARN End-of-Course was 30.41%. Those results trail Plainfield, Cascade, Danville, and Avon, while running near Mooresville and Martinsville. Monrovia also spends $12,470 per student—more than Danville ($11,940), Avon ($11,043), Cascade ($11,508), Mooresville ($10,965), and Plainfield ($9,813)—yet its test scores lag several of them. The 15.1 student-teacher ratio is reasonable, and the 40.08% free/reduced lunch rate sits mid-range locally. Subgroup outcomes are uneven: overall performance was at the 41st percentile in 2025–2026, but White students ranked 31st, low-income students 30th, and special education students 28th, suggesting the 2-star rating masks inconsistent experiences across groups.

Many AP courses. Very active band, choir, drama and art departments. Low student:teacher ratio. Very safe. Close Quote
