Summary:
ZIP code 46001 is home to two public schools serving a combined 1,374 students: Alexandria Monroe Elementary School (PK–6, 754 students) and Alexandria-Monroe High School (7–12, 620 students), both part of Alexandria Community School Corp.
Alexandria Monroe Elementary is the stronger academic performer. In 2025–2026 it ranked 333 of 1,015 schools, placing in the 67th percentile with 3 stars, and its rank has climbed steadily over three years. All-grade proficiency was 48.48% in ELA and 44.70% in math, both above the district. Upper grades are a particular strength: 6th grade ELA reached 59.46% versus the state's 41.3%, 4th grade science 54.35% versus 43.8%, and 5th grade social studies 57.58% versus 47.2% — a dramatic jump from 32% the prior year. The caution flag is 3rd grade, where ELA was 26.6% against a state figure of 40.8% and math 39.36% against 51.9%, plus chronic absenteeism of 20.5%, above the district's 18.7% and the state's 16.7%. That suggests early-grade support and attendance are worth watching.
Alexandria-Monroe High School has bright spots in completion and reading: a 95.8% graduation rate versus the state's 89.7%, chronic absenteeism of 16.5% (below district and state), and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing at 53.4%, above the state's 51.9%. It also returned to 3 stars in 2025–2026 after a 2-star year. However, proficiency is a serious challenge, especially in math: all-grade math 26.26% versus the district's 38.55%, 8th grade math 23.91% versus 34.2%, and SAT math 17.48% versus 25.6%. Because the school serves grades 7–12, weak 8th grade results pull down its overall scores. Notably, it spends more per student ($12,379 versus $10,750) with a smaller student-teacher ratio (12.4 versus 16.3), yet still trails the elementary school academically.
