Monroe High School

Monroe is not a good experience for student or parent. Nobody cares about the students and everything is about politics, your child gets lost in the mix and the rest of the school is too snooty to care.

I like the school ok some things could change for convenience of the students. but overall a good public school choice. Good discipline allows safety for all students

Good School in General. As other parent mentions small size allows kids to participate in extra curricular activities (opposed to all big 2,000+ Pupils that are closest to area). Decent Sports program, great new facilities. Academically needs better support from District as it is just average My kids came from Out of State from a High Ranked national school where AP and advance placements are Amazing! But here their options are limited and they seem to cruise in with much less efforts to get As. Advisor departments lack the experience to indentify and evaluate incoming Students strengths, relaying only on previous Satate testings! Dull.. Small school does not have an Orchestra? Do have a Band as make emphasis to support the Football squad more than the Arts aspects. Overall Great environment, Safe, Parent involvement is good but all emphasis on Sports!! Needs to improve academical efforts from the District and support stafiing

Highest value school in the area. The small size means you kids can participate in sports and other extracurricular activities. Parents are highly involved.

Although the school district is only 4 years old, it has already made great strides toward academic excellence. However, this past years testing did have the school drop from the top rating to the second best rating for the High School. It has also changed its curriculum, especially in math, eliminating Trigonometry from its class offerings. It does have AP courses in Biology, History, Calculus, and other studies/disciplines. Overall the teaching staff is excellent. It is still weak in Art and Music, although the teaching staff in these fields are excellent. It lacks extracurricular activities in the academic area - photography, debate, history, math, and others. It is strong in sports with a lot of emphasis on team spirit. It requires an academic achievment level of 1.75 (vs. 1.50 for some surrounding schools) for participation in sports. There seems to be a lack of parent participation in all areas of endeavour except sports. Good School!
