Monroe School District

Summary:

The Monroe School District is a 3-star district in Washington with 11 schools serving about 5,500 students from preschool through high school, including traditional and alternative programs.

Performance varies significantly across the district. Salem Woods Elementary School is a standout 5-star school with exceptionally high test scores, while Frank Wagner Elementary faces severe challenges, ranking in the bottom 6% of the state despite having small class sizes and high per-student spending. The district's high schools are strong overall, with Monroe High School boasting a 91.4% graduation rate.

Interesting contrasts exist in the alternative schools: Sky Valley Education Center achieves strong high school proficiency rates with very low spending, while Leaders In Learning serves a high-need population with a much higher dropout rate. A key district-wide concern is a noticeable dip in 7th-grade math scores, suggesting a common challenge at the middle school level that needs attention.
