Summary:
The City of Monroe School District in Louisiana is home to three middle schools: Neville Junior High School, Carroll Junior High School, and Martin Luther King Junior High School. While the district as a whole faces academic challenges, with all three schools performing below state averages, Neville Junior High School stands out as the top performer, consistently achieving higher test scores, lower dropout rates, and lower chronic absenteeism compared to the other two schools and the district.
In contrast, Carroll Junior High School appears to be the weakest performer, with significantly lower test scores across both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) compared to Neville and the district/state averages. The school's statewide ranking also places it in the bottom 10% of Louisiana middle schools. Martin Luther King Junior High School falls somewhere in the middle, with proficiency rates below Neville but above Carroll.
The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across all three schools, ranging from 65.89% at Neville to over 90% at Carroll, indicate a significant level of economic disadvantage in the City of Monroe School District. This suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve educational outcomes for all students in the district.
