Summary:
Monroe School District in Wisconsin contains just one high school: Monroe High, located in the city of Monroe and serving grades 9–12 with an enrollment of 686 students. Because it is the only high school in the district, there are no other local high schools to compare it against — the useful comparisons are between Monroe High, the district as a whole, and the state of Wisconsin.
Monroe High's strongest results are in completion: 98.2% of students graduate, well above the state rate of 92.0%, and the dropout rate is just 0.2% versus 1.1% statewide. Academically, the 2025–2026 year showed clear improvement, with test scores rising in three of four reported subjects: Social Studies improved by 4.14 percentage points, Mathematics by 5.18 points, and English Language Arts by 2.86 points, while the state barely moved. Monroe High now scores above the state in ELA (49.33% vs. 48.47%) and Mathematics (44.00% vs. 42.93%), and its average proficiency (45.68%) is nearly identical to the state's (45.71%). After a dip in 2024–2025 to 2 stars and the 39th percentile, the school rebounded to 3 stars and the 55th percentile in 2025–2026.
Two areas are worth watching. Chronic absenteeism is 19.2%, higher than both the district (12.8%) and the state (17.3%) — a notable contrast to the very strong graduation figures. Science is the one subject that slipped, falling 3.80 percentage points year over year to 42.67%, slightly below the state's 43.20%, and Social Studies remains just under state level at 46.71% versus 48.25%. For context, 35.71% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $16,322, and the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 13.1, though the data provides no state comparison for those two figures.
