GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Monroe High School was disappointing overall. The worst part is hard to determine because there was so much bad like moldy food, rats, mean admin and teachers. I think what little good there is in Monroe is the teachers that love theirs jobs and care about their students. I would like to see an overall change in the whole school and their teaching system.
