Summary:
In zip code 46157, there is one middle school, Monrovia Middle School, serving grades 6-8. This public middle school is part of the Monroe-Gregg School District.
Monrovia Middle School has an enrollment of 328 students. The school's chronic absenteeism rate was 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is a notable concern. Nearly half of the student body, 49.39%, qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite spending $11,236 per student, the school's academic performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math consistently falls below the Indiana state average. For instance, ELA proficiency was 33.13% in 2023-2024 and decreased to 28.22% in 2024-2025, while Math proficiency saw a slight increase from 24.4% to 26.46% over the same period. Science proficiency for the 2024-2025 school year was 24.56%, also significantly lower than the state average.
The school's statewide ranking has seen a slight decline, moving from 228th out of 483 schools in 2020-2021 to 279th out of 489 in 2022-2023, maintaining a 2-star rating. Within the school, 8th graders generally perform better in ELA and Math compared to younger grades, with 6th graders showing lower proficiency, particularly in Math and Science. These trends suggest that while resources are being invested, there are challenges in improving overall academic outcomes and addressing student engagement, as highlighted by the chronic absenteeism rate. The school's performance is largely in line with the Monroe-Gregg School District's overall academic standing.
