Monroe Elementary operates 1 public schools serving 169 students, placing it among the smaller districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 169 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is geographically located in Fresno County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,346 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 9.5% local, 64.1% state, and 26.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $95,962 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.

Monroe Elementary accounts for 100.0% of all Monroe Elementary student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Monroe Elementary-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Monroe Elementary has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 91.1% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Monroe Elementary chronic absenteeism rate is 16.0% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Monroe Elementary is typically wider than the Monroe Elementary-aggregate figure suggests.
