City of Monroe School District

Summary:

The City of Monroe School District in Louisiana encompasses 19 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 187 to 1,107.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional performance. J.S. Clark Magnet Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Louisiana, with a 5-star rating and impressive test scores, with 93% of students proficient or better in math and 92-100% proficient in English Language Arts. Another high-performing school is Sallie Humble Elementary School, which ranks in the top 15% of Louisiana elementary schools and boasts 4-star ratings, with 81-85% proficiency in math and 79-84% in English Language Arts. As the largest high school in the district, Neville High School maintains a 3-star rating and outperforms the district and state averages on end-of-course exams, with 58-82% proficiency rates.

However, the data also reveals stark performance disparities across the district, with many schools struggling to meet academic standards, particularly in math and English Language Arts. The schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have the lowest academic performance, suggesting a strong link between poverty and educational outcomes. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the district are a significant concern and likely contribute to the overall academic challenges. Addressing these systemic issues will require a multifaceted approach targeting both instructional quality and socioeconomic factors within the City of Monroe School District.
