Monroe Elementary serves kindergarten through fourth grade as a regular public school in the St. Charles R-VI School District, located in St. Charles, Missouri. St. Charles itself is a northwestern suburb of St. Louis, a city with a historic downtown core along the Missouri River and a mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and institutional anchors like Lindenwood University. The area has seen steady population growth in recent years, and the school sits within a community that blends historic character with suburban development. The district reported no recent major changes of lasting impact in publicly available sources.
The school’s student body is diverse. A substantial majority of students are white, with notable shares of Hispanic and Black students, and smaller numbers of Asian, multiracial, and other backgrounds. A modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is a relatively low rate. Enrollment counts were available for each grade from kindergarten through fourth grade, with each grade holding a similar number of students. The school does not serve grades that take high school exit exams, so no graduation rate is reported.
State assessment results from the Missouri Assessment Program are available for grades three and four in math, and for grade three in English language arts. In third-grade math, a little under half of students scored at or above the proficient level. In fourth-grade math, roughly three in five students reached that same benchmark. In third-grade English language arts, a little under half of students were proficient. The fourth-grade English language arts proficiency rate was suppressed in the data provided, so it is not possible to report a figure for that group. A parent may want to ask the school directly about fourth-grade reading performance.
When placed against other districts in St. Charles County, the school’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades sits above the midpoint. This is a solid position, though it is worth noting that the county has only five districts, so the comparison set is small and the range between the highest and lowest is narrow. The school’s performance is not at the top of the county, but it is clearly on the stronger side of the middle.
The school offers no unusual program data in the provided information, and no details on course access, staffing, or discipline were available. The civil rights data was also absent. A parent considering Monroe Elementary will want to seek out information on class sizes, special education services, English learner supports, and enrichment offerings directly from the school or district, as none of those are reported here.
Housing in the area is priced above the state average and close to the national median, with rents also running above typical state levels. The cost of buying a home relative to local incomes is somewhat stretched, and renting is more affordable than buying on a monthly basis. The area’s unemployment rate has been stable near a low national benchmark in recent months.
Monroe Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in a growing suburban city with a historic downtown and a mix of older and newer residential areas. Its academic profile is generally solid, with math performance in fourth grade a particular strength, while literacy in third grade is more moderate. The school’s position relative to other county districts is above average, but the margin is thin, and a family may want to examine the specific grade-level results that matter most to them, especially the unreported fourth-grade reading score. The student body is predominantly white with meaningful diversity, and the share of families in economic need is low. This is a school that fits a family looking for a straightforward neighborhood elementary experience in a stable, growing suburban community.
