Summary

Monroe Junior High School serves about 440 students in grades 7–8 in Monroe, Ohio, a small community north of Cincinnati, and is part of the Monroe Local district, which ranks 191 of 773 Ohio districts. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 301 of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 71st percentile with 4 stars. That is a solid statewide position, but it is a noticeable step down from the 79th–87th percentile range the school held over the previous four years. Test scores are above Ohio averages in every reported subject and grade, and Algebra I is a clear standout: 100% proficiency, compared with 84.5% in the district and 61.6% statewide.

Among nearby schools, Monroe sits in the middle-to-upper tier. It trails Mason Middle School and most Lakota schools, is roughly comparable to Madison Junior High, and is ahead of Franklin Junior High School, Edgewood Middle School, New Miami Middle School, and Middletown Middle School. Grade level matters here: 7th-grade math is 69.7%, essentially tied with Mason and above most neighbors, while 8th-grade results — math 56.2%, ELA 67.1%, science 65.2% — trail several nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is 15.4%, better than most lower-ranked neighbors but behind Mason, Liberty Junior School, and Lakota Plains Junior School.

The 2025–2026 dip is concentrated in the 8th-grade cohort and science: 8th-grade science fell from 81.4% to 65.2%, 8th-grade math from 74.2% to 56.2%, and 8th-grade ELA from 79.0% to 67.1%, while 7th-grade results held steady. Attendance followed a similar pattern — improved dramatically from 33.0% in 2021–2022 to 12.1% in 2024–2025, then rose again to 15.4%. The widest equity gap is for students with disabilities: that subgroup ranked in the 8th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026, down sharply from around the 49th percentile in the two prior years, even as the school overall ranked at the 71st percentile. Students from lower-income families and English Language Learners also ranked below the school's overall standing.
