Monroe's mission is to ensure all children reach their potential by promoting academic excellence, respecting the diversity of others and building a caring community mindset.

Parents love Monroe's focus on fostering academic achievement and personal expression through its GATE program, designed to encourage and challenge gifted and talented students.

This has been a wonderful school for my son, I have been thrilled with every aspect. My child has had amazing support with the things he has struggled with and the team at Monroe has really made what could have been a hard year a great year.

Bad 3rd grade teacher who is not dedicated to his students.Class DoJo program takes the place of his controlling his kids.wish I had known what kind of teacher he was before my daughter was assigned Principal and office staff avoid their post.Too bad because this school can be a great one.
