Summary

Monroe Grade School is an elementary school located in Monroe, Oregon, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 256 students. The school is part of the Monroe School District 1J, which is ranked 89 out of 140 districts in the state.

Academically, Monroe Grade School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments (OSAS) generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 19.2% to 37.5%, compared to the state average of 40.3% to 46.7%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 11.5% to 50%, compared to the state average of 28.9% to 40.1%. Nearby schools, such as Territorial Elementary School, have consistently outperformed Monroe Grade School on state assessments.

Additionally, Monroe Grade School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 34.3% to 41.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. This trend is not unique to Monroe Grade School, as nearby schools, such as Spring Creek Elementary and Irving Elementary, also have high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting a regional issue. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, which has increased from $15,011 in 2021-2022 to $17,464 in 2022-2023, the academic performance remains below average, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution.
