Horrific. I have no idea how this school is still open. I cant wait to get my poor child away from them!

The staff flat out doesnt attempt to help kids who are soft spoken and have manners. Terrible experience for both of my children!

The teachers play favorites. Ive had my children in grades k-2nd as well as 5-6th and have yet to see any of these teachers treat all the students fairly.

The teachers allow students to interrupt other children during lessons.

I spoke with multiple staff members regarding my concerns and they were very interested while I was talking, but did nothing about the situation and ignored my concerns

My son of very mellow and soft spoken and ALWAYS raises his hand to answer or all questions. His teachers always ignored him for the children who speak out of turn and never corrected them, leaving my son forgotten in the back burner.

I loved this school when I went, but I found better schools after I left. It was okay.

This school is horrible. Most of the kids are heinous and the majority of parents are as well which would probably have to do with the kids being that way. The best thing about this school is Mr. Hanke who teaches 3rd grade. He is award-winning! I had to pull my son from the school because he was almost failing. The only time my son did well was when he had Mr. Hanke (a good teacher). He is now in a home-schooling program and is in the 98th percentile.

I have two children attending Monroe and the whole family loves it. We are in the Simas E. school district which our son attended for 1 year and we were very unhappy - especially with the office staff and principal - rude and condescending. We were able to transfer due to our younger child being autistic and Simas had no programs for her. The teachers and office staff at Monroe are excellent. The principal and assitant principal care about all of the children. It is a warm friendly environment.

The best thing about this school are the dedicated and caring teachers and Mrs. Mora. The school secretary, Diana is the worst thing about the school. I almost did not put my children at this school because of her. She made a terrible first impression, is extremely rude over the phone and stood me up for an appt. I had with her to register my kids. Overall, some of the rules for this school are unrealistic and the parent involvement is on the low side from what I have seen, but it is a safe school with a little room for improvement.
