Summary:
In the 04951 zip code, there is only one school - Monroe Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 62 students. Despite being part of the Regional School Unit 03/Maine School Admin District 03, which is ranked 126 out of 176 districts in the state, Monroe Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution.
In the 2022-2023 school year, Monroe Elementary School ranked 10th out of 290 Maine elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments (MEA) is significantly higher than its district and state averages, with 68% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 60% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the district's 55.01% and 37.8%, and the state's 63.84% and 49.38%, respectively. This strong academic performance has been maintained over the past three school years.
Despite having a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (69.35%), Monroe Elementary School is able to overcome potential socioeconomic challenges and provide an equitable education for all students. With a relatively small enrollment of 62 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1, the school may be able to offer more personalized attention and support, contributing to its academic success. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is an area that could be improved to further boost student achievement.
