Summary

Monroe Middle is a grades 6–8 school serving 483 students in Monroe, Wisconsin, part of the Monroe School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 224th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — the 65th percentile, or 3 stars — making it a solidly above-average middle school statewide. Its rank history shows a pandemic-era dip to the 41st percentile in 2020–2021, followed by a recovery into the 58–65 percentile range in recent years. The district itself ranks 146th of 432 Wisconsin districts, at the 66th percentile with 3 stars.

In 2025–2026, Monroe Middle scored above the Wisconsin state average in every reported Forward Exam subject and grade. Eighth-grade Social Studies was a clear strength at 71.05% proficiency versus the state's 64.63%, and 7th-grade ELA (65.22%) and math (63.98%) were also comfortably ahead of state. Science was the relative weak spot at 52.63%, only slightly above the state's 51.86%. Compared with nearby schools, Monroe trails top regional performers such as New Glarus Middle, Belleville Middle, and Parkview Junior High, which posted higher proficiency in many subjects, but generally leads Albany, Black Hawk, Brodhead, and Monticello.

Monroe's chronic absenteeism dropped to 10.9% in 2024–2025, below both the district (12.8%) and state (17.3%) rates and a sharp decline from over 20% in 2021–2022 and 2022–2023. Its dropout rate was 0.6%, below the state's 1.1%. The school serves a higher-poverty population than some higher-ranked neighbors — 41.41% free/reduced lunch, versus 17.76% for New Glarus and 22.52% for Belleville — with mid-range spending of $15,549 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 13.5, larger than most nearby schools except Parkview.
