Summary

Monroe Elementary School is a public school in Monroe, Ohio, serving 1,166 students in grades 2–6 as part of Monroe Local, a district ranked in the 75th percentile of Ohio districts. The school ranks 293rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–26 (81st percentile, 4 stars), and has earned 4 stars while staying between the 80th and 84th percentile every year since 2015–16 — an unusually steady record that points to durable teaching systems rather than one good year.

In 2025–26, Monroe students scored above the state average in every tested grade and subject, averaging roughly 79% proficient across nine tests compared with about 62% statewide; fourth-grade math stood out at 93.6%. Overall proficiency is comparable to Cherokee Elementary School and below Independence Elementary School in Lakota Local, but far above Middletown City, Edgewood City School District, and other nearby alternatives. Chronic absenteeism was 12.6%, better than most neighbors but higher than Cherokee (6.0%) and Independence (7.3%). The school is especially effective with low-income students, while special education and English learner results sit closer to state average.

Monroe Elementary is the largest nearby elementary, with a 22:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $7,601 in 2018–19 — less than Cherokee, Independence, and Wyandot Early Childhood School — yet it matches or beats most of them. Free/reduced lunch rose to 39.79% in 2024–25. Students arrive from Monroe Primary School (PK–1, 448 students), and results stay high despite the jump in scale. Watch items are attendance relative to top Lakota peers and upper-grade reading and math compared with Independence and Cherokee.
