My son is in 3rd grade at Monroe El. he started off in their early childhood intervension program at the age of 3. He was falling behind with his speech and they really helped him to catch up with his peers. All the teachers at Monroe El are wonderful, they are very communicative and are willing to go the extra mile to make sure every child is succesful.
