Summary:
There is one middle school in the Monroe School District: Monroe Middle, located at 1510 13th Street in Monroe, Wisconsin. It serves students in grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 483 students, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.5:1 and per-student spending of $15,549. Because it is the only middle school in the district, there are no local peers to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are the district and state averages.
Monroe Middle was above the state average in every subject and grade tested on the 2025–26 Forward Exam, a notable change from 2024–25, when eighth grade English language arts, seventh grade math, and eighth grade science fell below the state. Social studies in eighth grade was the standout result at 71.05% proficient, ahead of the state's 64.63%. Seventh grade was also strong, with English language arts at 65.22% and math at 63.98%, both comfortably above state averages. On attendance, chronic absenteeism was 10.9%, below the district's 12.8% and well under the state's 17.3%. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranked 224 out of 643 schools in 2025–26, the 65th percentile, up from the 58th percentile the prior year.
Two areas are worth watching. Sixth grade dropped in both English language arts, from 64.78% to 57.05%, and math, from 66.67% to 58.97% — declines of more than 7 percentage points each. Both remain above state averages but sit slightly below district averages. Eighth grade math also softened, from 62.84% to 55.92%, though it stayed above the state. The lowest 2025–26 result was eighth grade science at 52.63%, still slightly above the state's 51.86%. Overall, the school's average proficiency rose by roughly 2.3 percentage points year over year.
