Summary:
Monroe School District 1J in Oregon has only one elementary school, Monroe Grade School, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 256 students. While the school has a relatively small class size and higher per-student spending, its academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally lower than the state averages.
Monroe Grade School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 430 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 531 out of 710 in 2023-2024. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average and may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (51.56% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's challenges, there are some bright spots. For example, in 2024-2025, 3rd-grade math proficiency at Monroe Grade School (50%) was higher than the state average (40.1%). However, the inconsistent academic performance across grade levels and subject areas suggests a need for more consistent and targeted instructional strategies to support the success of all students at Monroe Grade School within the Monroe School District 1J.
