Summary

Monroe High School is a 1,515-student public school serving grades 9–12 in Monroe, Washington, within the Monroe School District. The large comprehensive high school serves a relatively economically diverse community, with 40.07% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its latest ranking is 113th out of 396 Washington schools, placing it at the 71st percentile with a four-star rating—an improvement from the 53rd percentile the previous year. The student-teacher ratio is 21.2, broadly similar to nearby comprehensive high schools.

Monroe’s strongest outcomes are in graduation and English Language Arts. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 91.4%, above both the district’s 89.0% and the state’s 82.6%, while the dropout rate was 6.7%, below district and state rates. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency reached 69.11%, well above the district’s 53.20% and the state’s 52.81%. That result was higher than Snohomish High School and similar to Sultan Senior High School, though below Cedarcrest High School, Glacier Peak High School, North Creek High School, and Woodinville High School.

Mathematics is Monroe’s clearest challenge: 39.02% of students were proficient, below both the district’s 43.42% and the state’s 43.11%, despite improvement from 22.73% in 2023–2024. Science proficiency recovered to 50.98%, nearly matching the state average. Compared with nearby schools, Monroe is ahead of Sultan in math but trails the higher-performing comprehensive schools by sizable margins. The school’s recent gains are broad, including improved ELA, math, science, graduation, and several subgroup results. However, effectiveness for students receiving special education services fell to the 25th percentile, making it another important focus. Overall, Monroe offers solid completion outcomes and notably strong ELA performance, with targeted improvement in math and special education likely to have the greatest impact.

What people are saying

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
