Summary

Monroe School is an elementary school located in West Valley City, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 488 students. The school is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 70 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Monroe School consistently performs below the district and state averages in RISE test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 15%, compared to the district's 37.1% and the state's 48.6%. The school's performance on the RISE tests has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 395 out of 572 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 485 out of 547 in 2024-2025. However, the school performs relatively better in serving Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students compared to other schools in the state, ranking 9 out of 44 Utah elementary schools for Hispanic students and 7 out of 26 for ELL students in 2021-2022.

Monroe School also faces significant challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 32.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The nearby schools, such as Pioneer School, Valley Crest School, and Jackling School, also perform below the district and state averages in academic achievement, with similar challenges in serving low-income and minority student populations. However, some charter schools in the area, like Monticello Academy and Esperanza School, demonstrate higher academic performance, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in this community.
