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.

School consists of a predominantly low-income minority student body and the school knows it, thus provides many accessible resources to bring up these types of students

I haven't had any worse parts of my experience here at James Monroe but i've witnessed some people have bad experiences. One thing is there is a lot of fights and violent things happening and I think the staff should be more aware of that. One good thing I've experienced is hearing about college and getting help on how to apply , fasfa, etc.

My experience here has been so good. I am a junior and the more more people i meet, they become family. Each year classes get hard but with teachers help, anything is possible. The teachers I have had push me to the greatest I can be, they believe in me when I am tired mentally. They are there for me. If I can recommend a high school to go to, i would say they should come to James Monroe High School. We have so many academics programs to offer. We have a fire academy, law and government academy, police academy, and engineering &' design.

Por favor traten mejor a sus pacientes de enfermería, con la salud no se juega y hay personas que de verdad si pueden estar mal y por decir la verdad deciden hacer maltrato verbal. 4/10

My daughter enjoys every second of the law and government magnet. She genuinely enjoys learning from her magnet teachers and being around those who share her knowledge and interests. This is an excellent school and im glad to have transferred her from a charter school where she learned or understood...
