Summary:
ZIP code 46157 is home to a single elementary school: Monrovia Elementary School, a PK–5 campus in Monrovia, Indiana with 741 students, part of the Monroe-Gregg School District. Because it is the only elementary school in this area, there are no local school-to-school comparisons to make — the most useful benchmarks are the school's own history, its district, and the state.
Attendance is a clear strength. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is 9.0%, essentially the same as the district's 8.9% and far below the state's 16.7%. Math is another bright spot: all-grade math proficiency rose from 30.05% in 2024–25 to 38.97% in 2025–26, and the school beat the district's all-grade math rate of 29.38% by roughly 9.6 percentage points. Fifth grade ELA (42.74%) sits just above the state's 42.2%, and fifth grade social studies jumped from 20.16% to 40.17% in a single year — a striking gain, though it compares different groups of students and should be read with some caution.
The biggest academic concern is early literacy. Third grade ELA (21.37%) and fourth grade ELA (18.26%) trail the state (40.8% and 42.2%) by wide margins, and all-grade ELA slipped slightly from 28.77% to 27.51%. Science also declined, from 31.09% to 28.7%, with fourth grade science 15.1 points below the state's 43.8%. Fifth grade math (26.5%) is 15.5 points below the state's 42%. The school ranks 680 of 1015 (33rd percentile, 2 stars) for 2025–26, an improvement from 26th percentile and 1 star, while the district sits at 29th percentile and 1 star. For context, the school has a 17.1:1 student-teacher ratio, $10,660 in per-student spending, and a 41.7% free/reduced lunch rate.
