Monarch is amazing school. My son attends for three years now and we love it. The person who left a one star rating must be crazy. They provide more than just services, they provide love, trust, respect & fantastic education to kids with Autism. I've never heard of any parents who are unhappy at Monarch. God bless them!

I have talked to many people that are dissatisfied with being charged for services by this school that their children are not receiving. We are putting together a petition to present to the Polk County school board for a full investigation.

My daughter not only benefits academically (she is in the Advanced Studies High School Program), but socially she is becoming amazing! The direct instruction of social skills has made such a difference!! We love The Monarch School!!

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
