Summary:
Monroe, Oregon has just one public high school — Monroe High School — which serves grades 9–12 with an enrollment of 115 students and is part of Monroe School District 1J. Because it is the only high school in the city, it is the single option for local families and also the clear standout in the data.
The school's strongest results are in English Language Arts and Science. In 2025-2026, 69.2% of students were proficient in ELA, well above Oregon's 11th-grade rate of 46.0%, and 50.0% were proficient in Science, above the state's 33.8%. Its ELA score sits 52.5 points above its Math score, a much wider gap than the state's 23.1-point difference. Monroe High has also earned 4 stars in each of the last three reported years, ranking 74th, 69th, and 80th of roughly 270 Oregon high schools — consistently in the top quartile. The setting is small, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and per-student spending of $29,567.
Math is the main academic weak spot: 16.7% proficient, below the state's 22.9% for 11th grade and also below the district's all-grade Math rate of 23.0%. Chronic absenteeism is high at 41.5%, compared with 33.5% statewide and 27.5% district-wide, and the 80.0% graduation rate is 3.0 points below Oregon's 83.0% (matching the district). Nearly three in four students (73.91%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, a useful context for interpreting these results. Notably, the school's 4-star standing contrasts with its district's ranking of 97th of 141 — 31st percentile, 2 stars. With only 115 students, proficiency percentages rest on small numbers, so year-to-year changes should be read with caution.
