Summary:
The 46157 zip code area has only one high school, Monrovia High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high enrollment of 528 students, it faces several challenges, including a lack of racial diversity, declining statewide rankings, and below-average academic performance.
Monrovia High School's student population is predominantly White (93.56%), which is significantly higher than the state's racial demographics. This lack of diversity may be an area for the school to address. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 160 out of 409 schools in 2021-2022 to 264 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024, indicating a concerning downward trend in its performance relative to other Indiana high schools. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing (45.04%) and SAT/Mathematics (13.74%) are below the state average, and its 21.21% proficiency rate in ILEARN/Biology is significantly lower than the state's 29% average.
Other areas of concern for Monrovia High School include a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1% and a significant population (36.17%) of students from low-income households who receive free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may contribute to the school's academic performance challenges and suggest that the Monroe-Gregg School District may need to implement targeted interventions to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
