Summary

Monroe Grade School is a K–8 school serving 235 students in the small rural community of Monroe, Oregon, part of Monroe School District 1J. In 2025–2026 it ranked 563rd of 709 Oregon schools — the 21st percentile, with a 1-star rating — close to its lowest mark on record and down from a recent peak of 430th of 706 (39th percentile) in 2022–2023. The district itself ranks 97th of 141 Oregon districts.

Academics are the clearest concern. Monroe's all-grade proficiency is 27% in English language arts (state: 43.8%), 23.5% in math (state: 32.9%), and 13.3% in science (state: 30.6%). Science is the biggest red flag: 5th-grade science is 7.7% proficient versus 30.8% statewide, and no reporting nearby school scored lower. Middle grades also lag — 8th-grade ELA is 14.7% (state: 41.5%) and 6th-grade math is 15.4% (state: 29.7%). For comparison, Philomath Elementary School posts 52% ELA, 42.9% math, and 36.1% science, while Inavale Community Partners dba Muddy Creek Charter School reaches 71.4% science proficiency. Because grades here are small, single-year swings should be read with caution, but the below-state pattern holds across subjects and grade levels.

There are real strengths, too. Chronic absenteeism fell from 41.1% in 2022–2023 to 21.1% in 2024–2025, better than the district (27.5%) and state (33.5%), and lower than most nearby schools. The student–teacher ratio of 12.1 is far below the nearby median of about 16.7. Per-student spending was $17,487 — below the nearby median of about $19,671. Meanwhile, 78.3% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, up sharply from 42.21% two years earlier, a high-need profile similar to Central Linn Elementary School, Territorial Elementary School, and Laurel Elementary School. Most nearby ranked schools score higher, including Irving Elementary School (25th percentile), Awbrey Park Elementary School (32nd), and Central Linn Elementary School (38th).
