Summary

Monroe High School is a public high school serving approximately 1,515 students in grades 9-12 within the Monroe School District, an average-performing district in the region.

The school presents a compelling story of strengths and challenges. Its most significant achievement is a strong 91.4% graduation rate, which exceeds both state and district averages and suggests effective systems for keeping students on track. However, academic proficiency is mixed: students perform well above the state average in English Language Arts but face considerable challenges in Math and Science, a gap more pronounced than at many nearby schools like Snohomish High School or Woodinville High School. The school serves a student population with a higher level of economic need than most surrounding comprehensive high schools, which provides important context for these outcomes.

When compared to schools with similar demographics, such as Sultan Senior High School, Monroe often performs better academically while maintaining a similar high graduation rate. The school has shown remarkable success with specific student supports, but overall, its performance has stabilized in recent years at an average statewide ranking. The key takeaway for parents is a school that excels at helping students graduate but is actively working to improve core proficiency, particularly in STEM subjects, within its community context.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, September 5, 2018

The high school and district do not care about student safety. A troubled student stabbed multiple students, unprovoked, with a pen/pencil. After being subdued by a fellow student the attacker ran off. Once detained it was discovered that the student had a large (8inch) knife hidden in their backpack. The student was arrested as he deserved. However the school allowed the attacker back into the school. They did nothing to stop the rumors that the 2 victims were bullies when they were innocent bystanders. They protected the attacker more than the victims. The school principal, dean of students, and superintendent are worthless! Close Quote
