Summary:
The city of Monroe, Wisconsin has only one high school, Monroe High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 197 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools in 2023-2024 to 262 out of 431 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger star rating falling from 3 stars to 2 stars during that time.
Monroe High School's academic achievement is mixed, with proficiency rates in some subject areas above the state average and others below. The school has a 91.0% four-year graduation rate, which is slightly higher than the state average, but a 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, 38.87% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.
Despite the Monroe School District spending $13,944 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a low 13.3 student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance has not consistently met state benchmarks. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its strategies and resource allocation to better support student success at Monroe High School.
