Summary

Monroe Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Eugene, Oregon, serving 519 students as part of Eugene School District 4J, and it serves a high-poverty population — 63.97% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024-25 — while ranking 298th of 371 Oregon middle schools (20th percentile, 1 star) even though its district ranks 23rd of 141 statewide (84th percentile, 4 stars).

Test scores are well below district and state averages. In 2025-26, 28.1% of Monroe students were proficient in English language arts, 18.5% in math, and 21.1% in science, compared with 48.0%, 37.7%, and 36.6% in the district. Eighth grade ELA is the weakest spot at 24.0% proficient, 21.2 points below the district. Comparisons with nearby schools are striking: Roosevelt Middle School serves a similar share of low-income students yet posts 56.0% ELA and 45.5% math proficiency, and Briggs Middle School in Springfield School District 19 ranks in the 69th percentile. Monroe's proficiency is the lowest among the 4J middle schools shown, including Kelly Middle School and Madison Middle School.

Attendance is a relative strength: chronic absenteeism was 29.6% in 2024-25, below the district's 33.0% and the state's 33.5%, and better than most nearby campuses — so low test scores are unlikely to be driven mainly by missed school. Resources may matter: Monroe has the lowest per-student spending among nearby 4J middle schools at $21,062 and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.6. Rankings for low-income students (2nd percentile) and gifted and talented students (11th percentile) are low, and the school's overall standing has slid from the 76th percentile in 2016-17 to the 20th in 2025-26.
