Home of the Monroe Bobcats, Monroe Elementary School has served Boise’s Depot Bench Neighborhood since 1954. The school’s student body includes kindergarten through the sixth grade.
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.
This esteemed institution has improved its established campus by adding newer classrooms and a gymnasium, while the parent-teacher organization hopes to further renovate and enhance the campus through fundraising efforts.
The school has built a reputation for performing above the national average in math, reading and science while retaining a close-knit community indicative of many neighborhood schools in the area. 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.
Though the school has limited enrollment due to its popularity, parents and students regularly comment on how involved, friendly and supportive teachers and administrators are at Monroe.
With small class sizes, dedicated staff and advanced academic programs, Monroe Elementary School is one of the best institutions to ensure your children get the individual attention they need to thrive.

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.
