Summary:
The Monroe City R-I school district has one elementary school, Monroe City Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 316 students. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families (56.65% free/reduced lunch), Monroe City Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, ranking in the top 35% of Missouri elementary schools.
The school's proficiency rates on the MAP assessments are significantly higher than the state averages, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts (65.8% vs 42.4%) and 3rd grade Math (57.9% vs 41.1%). This strong academic performance is likely supported by the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1. Additionally, Monroe City Elementary has maintained a consistent ranking over the past few years, indicating a high level of quality and stability.
While the school's overall performance is impressive, there may be room for improvement in 4th grade English Language Arts, where proficiency rates (32.5%) are lower than the state average (45.9%). Investigating the factors contributing to this discrepancy could help the school identify opportunities for growth and continue to provide an excellent education for its diverse student population.
