My son is in third grade and we have had an fantastic experience at Monroe. Amazing teachers who keep the kids engaged, and incredible leadership by the principal, Ms Steiner. I was very surprised to see the below comment. All of the parents I know at the school love the school and are in awe of our amazing and dynamic principal, who works so hard for all of the kids.
The principle and staff members favor students and label others. The principle over reacts and allows her staff and her "favorite" students to mis treat other children..............
Monroe is proud of its three Academic Programs: * Spanish Two-Way Immersion Program - The Immersion Strands goals are bilingualism and bi-literacy in Spanish and English for students from different language backgrounds while achieving proficiency on state standards. * Cantonese Bilingual Program - The goal is for children from Cantonese speaking households to learn high levels of academic English for the core subjects, while maintaining and enriching their home language of Cantonese. * English Language Development Program - The ELD strand uses English as the sole language of instruction for both English native language speakers and English learners to achieve proficiency on the state adopted curriculum.
Great community of staff, students and parents. My daughter's middle school teachers are impressed on how prepared she was for middle school (particularly her Spanish Immersion classes).
As a grandparent, I am impressed with this school and the learning that goes on here. Great Staff!
Excellent principal, and support staff especially the two secretaries at the front office.
The best parent community, great kids, great teachers, great principal
This school is a fantastically diverse place where kids get a quality education and learn the skills they need for a bright future.
I love that my son gets to participate in the Spanish Immersion program at Monroe. The school has a great community of committed teachers, parents, and a wonderful, dynamic principal.
i gazed in amazement as i saw my child reach the standard she is suposed to be in and sometimes even higher than the standard
