Elementary Schools in Monroe School District


Summary:

The Monroe School District in Washington serves students across five elementary schools (typically grades K-5 or K-6), providing a varied educational landscape within the community.

Parents will find a significant range in school performance within the district. Salem Woods Elementary School is a consistent top-tier performer, ranking in the state's 90th percentile with exceptional test scores in all subjects, particularly science. In contrast, Frank Wagner Elementary faces considerable challenges, ranking in the bottom 6th percentile with proficiency rates less than half the district average. Schools like Maltby Elementary and Chain Lake Elementary School are solidly above average, while Fryelands Elementary performs near the state average.

Key insights show a strong link between economic disadvantage, measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic outcomes; Frank Wagner has the highest poverty rate and the lowest scores, while the highest-performing schools have much lower rates. Notably, higher per-student spending does not guarantee better results, as Frank Wagner is one of the higher-funded schools. A positive finding is that science instruction appears to be a relative strength across several schools in the Monroe School District, with proficiency rates often exceeding those in English and Math.
