Monroe School District

The Monroe School District has one public school, Monroe Consolidated School, serving approximately 88 students from Pre-K through eighth grade in the small community of Monroe, New Hampshire. Because it is the district’s only school, its results reflect the district as a whole. The school offers a small-school environment, with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 6.9 to 1, and about 18% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academic results are mixed, with mathematics standing out as the strongest area. In 2025–2026, 43% of students were proficient in all-grade mathematics, nearly matching the 44% statewide result, while fifth-grade mathematics proficiency reached 56%, 13 points above the state average. Reading was somewhat weaker: 50% of students were proficient across all grades compared with 55% statewide, and fifth-grade reading was 44% compared with 58% statewide. Science was the greatest concern in the latest year, with 26% proficiency across all grades versus 38% statewide. Families should also note the school’s small enrollment, since results can change substantially when only a few students are added to or removed from a tested group.

The latest results were notably weaker than the prior year. All-grade science proficiency fell from 55% in 2024–2025 to 26% in 2025–2026, while mathematics declined from 53% to 43% and reading decreased from 53% to 50%. The school’s ranking also dropped from 105th of 224 schools to 138th of 230, and its rating returned from three stars to two. These changes make science improvement and fifth-grade reading important priorities, while the school should continue building on its mathematics performance. Parents considering the school may value its close-knit setting and low student-teacher ratio, but should review multiple years of results and ask how the school is addressing recent science and reading trends.
