Academically, Monroe Elementary's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 48.7% of 3rd graders at Monroe Elementary were proficient or better in Math, compared to 56.4% for the district and 41.4% for the state.

At Monroe you can really tell the teachers care about their children. The hallways are lined with student work providing a warm feeling. They have a thing called families where each child belongs to a smaller group of kids. They all have town hall meetings and trimester awards assemblies that recognize children for their efforts.
