Summary

Monroe High School in Monroe, OR, is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 with 115 students, part of Monroe School District 1J. In 2025–2026 it ranks 74th of 271 Oregon high schools (73rd percentile, 4 stars)—far above its district’s 31st percentile, 2-star statewide rank—and it has been in the top quartile for three straight years after being at the 19th percentile in 2014–2015.

Academically, Monroe is strong in English language arts and science but weak in math. On 2025–2026 state tests, 69.2% of students were proficient in ELA and 50.0% in science, both above Oregon’s 11th-grade rates of 46.0% and 33.8%. Monroe’s ELA is higher than Corvallis High School (60.5%), Junction City High School (63.1%), and many others, with only Philomath High School (71.4%) slightly ahead. Science is also above most nearby schools. Math proficiency, however, is 16.7%—below the state’s 22.9% and below Corvallis, Elmira High School, Philomath, and Junction City. It does beat the lowest nearby schools, including Willamette High School (8.3%), North Eugene High School (9.6%), Harrisburg High School (6.5%), and Central Linn High School (9.1% at 11th grade).

Monroe’s resources are unusual: a 12.9 student-teacher ratio and $29,567 per-pupil spending—the highest among nearby schools. Yet chronic absenteeism is 41.5% (state: 33.5%) and the 2024–2025 graduation rate dipped to 80.0% (state: 83.0%) after several years above state average. The free/reduced lunch rate jumped to 73.91% from 38.1% the prior year, which may reflect reporting changes. Subgroup effectiveness is mostly strong in the latest data, though some groups have limited recent information. Overall, Monroe offers competitive ELA and science results for a small school, but math, attendance, and the recent graduation dip are the key areas to ask about.
