Summary

Monroe Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 554 students in New Richmond, Ohio, part of the New Richmond Exempted Village district. It ranks 627th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–26 — the 60th percentile, or 3 stars — while its district ranks 401st of 773 (48th percentile, 2 stars). That makes Monroe a standout within its own district: it outperforms the district it belongs to. The school peaked at the 73rd percentile in 2020–21, held in the low 70s through 2023–24, then slipped to 65th in 2024–25 and 60th in 2025–26 — still above its pre-pandemic range of roughly the 56th–62nd percentile.

Test results are above the state average in 5 of 7 reported subjects. Fifth grade is the clearest strength: ELA scored 83.3% versus 70.4% statewide, and science 77.4% versus 62.7%. Fourth-grade math scored 80.0% against a state figure of 67.3%. The main academic concerns are third-grade math, which fell from 75% to 52.1% in a single year and now trails the state's 62.1%, and fourth-grade ELA, at 60.0% — slightly under the state's 61.8% and below the district's 64.7%. Locally, Monroe is essentially tied with Amelia Elementary School for the top percentile in the area and sits ahead of Felicity-Franklin Local Elementary School, Merwin Elementary School, and the district's other elementary, Locust Corner Elementary School.

Chronic absenteeism has improved sharply, from 31.8% in 2021–22 to 16.8% in 2025–26 — better than the district's 19.1% and better than most nearby schools. The student-teacher ratio, however, is 22.1, the highest among the compared schools, even though Monroe is not the largest of them. The free/reduced-lunch rate jumped from 36.57% to 51.99% in one year, which is worth watching. Low-income and special-education students are currently performing at roughly the same level as the school overall.
