Monroe Elementary School

CortneyPeters: My oldest daughter is in kindergarten at Monroe.  This is our first school and we are VERY pleased.  She is challenged and is always eager to go to school every day.  The few days she has missed school she was very upset that she was having to stay home sick.  My daughter has a fabulous teacher!  I really enjoy going and watching her teach the kids.  You can tell she's someone who loves kids and loves teaching... just the kind of teacher we all want our kids to experience!  I am also very happy with the administration,  Ms. Goppert (our principal) know's her kids.  I can't imagine having to know 400+ kids names... but she does.  She also treats them with respect.  

I know that the testing scores were low for Monroe, but sometimes there's more than test scores to a school... From what I have seen they really try to assist the kids that are struggling and then those who are excelling and need extra challenges, they make sure they don't fall between the cracks and become bored.  

I'm glad we decided to keep our daughter in Monroe and look forward to our 4 year old to start Kindergarten there this next fall.
