This School’s Reviews

2.0 Freshman

6/29/2023

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.

3.0 Senior

Teachers are great at building bonds with their students, they care about our wellbeing and our academic success. This school provides many resources for the students like: job opportunities, mental health resources, bagged food, and guidance for after high school. I love what my teachers have provided me.
