Summary:
The Monroe Public Schools district in Michigan operates two high schools: Monroe High School and Orchard Center High School. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and face significant academic challenges, with performance well below the state average in most areas.
Monroe High School is ranked 541 out of 739 Michigan high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While it has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 82.8%, its academic performance is concerning, with only 18.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science and 12% proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics. In contrast, Orchard Center High School is ranked 715 out of 739 and has a 0-star rating, performing significantly worse than Monroe High School and the state average in most academic areas.
Both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income student population. Orchard Center High School has an especially high rate of 79.12%, and its student-teacher ratio is very high at 63.3, compared to 19.7 at Monroe High School. These factors suggest that the Monroe Public Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions, address resource allocation, and focus on supporting the unique needs of its low-income student population to improve overall academic outcomes across the district.
