Summary

Monroe Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 239 students in grades PK-4 in London, Ohio, which is part of the Jonathan Alder Local School District. While the district is ranked 201 out of 828 in Ohio and has a 4-star rating, Monroe Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and the state in standardized test scores for both math and English language arts across grades 3 and 4.

Monroe Elementary has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.5% to 17.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has had difficulty supporting certain student subgroups, with its rankings for Hispanic, male, and low-socioeconomic status students in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools in recent years. As a result, Monroe Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, Plain City Elementary, another school in the Jonathan Alder Local School District, has significantly higher proficiency rates in math and English language arts, as well as a higher 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that Monroe Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population and improve overall academic achievement.
