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.

As someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I never felt outcasted or excluded due to my sexuality or gender. I absolutely loved most of the teachers I had in my time there. I made many incredible connections with both my peers and my teachers. Something I learned very quickly that there is a teacher for every student at Monroe High. Every single student had at least one teacher they loved and had a close relationship.

Monroe High is on the smaller side of a public school in Union County, but there are still plenty of people to make acquaintances/friends. It is most likely the only high school in the county that is not overcrowded. A lot of outsiders assume due to location that it is a terrible school, when in reality the staff are great at their jobs and most of the teachers are some of the nicest teachers you will ever meet. They are always willing to help you out, or help find someone that can. I had the option to transfer to a "better" high school in the county my sophomore year, but I feel as if I would not have had as great of a high school experience if I chose another school.

I am a currently enrolled student. I transferred here my freshman year after attending a private k-12 school.
