Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the Monroe City R-I school district, which serves the Monroe City area. Monroe City Middle educates students in grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 191 students.
Monroe City Middle's academic performance on state assessments has been mixed compared to Missouri averages. While 6th grade math and 8th grade science scores exceeded state levels, other grade levels and subjects lagged behind. The school serves a predominantly white student population, with over half of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community. Despite the district spending more per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, the school's academic ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting challenges in maintaining consistent student achievement.
Going forward, the school and district may want to investigate the factors contributing to the fluctuating academic performance, and explore strategies to better support the learning needs of their socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. Careful analysis of resource allocation and instructional practices could help identify opportunities to improve outcomes for all students at Monroe City Middle.
