Summary

Monroe High is a public high school located in Monroe, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 710 students. The school is part of the Monroe School District, which is ranked 180 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Monroe High's performance has been inconsistent over the past 10 years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 152nd and 273rd out of Wisconsin high schools and its SchoolDigger rating ranging from 2 to 3 stars. The school's student group performance also varies, with male students and Hispanic students performing better than female students and white students. However, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and those in special education have struggled, with rankings as low as 288th and 51st, respectively, out of Wisconsin high schools. Despite these disparities, Monroe High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.4% to 94.2%, and a low dropout rate, ranging from 0.4% to 1.3%.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Parkview Academy of Virtual Education, Pecatonica High, and Belleville High, Monroe High generally performs at a lower level, with lower rankings and ratings. This suggests that the school may have room for improvement to catch up to the academic performance of its neighboring schools. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.47% to 38.87%, indicates that Monroe High serves a relatively disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges and require targeted interventions and support.
