District-Level NCES Analysis
Monroe Isd operates 4 public schools serving 1,176 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 2 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Monroe County.
The funding mix is 50.6% local, 30.3% state, and 19.1% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.
a 320:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 26.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.1% White, 7.3% Hispanic or Latino, 5.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Monroe County Youth Center, with a diversity index of 60.1/100.
Its largest campus is Monroe County Middle College, enrolling 320 students (65% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Monroe County Youth Center, at 16 students, a 20x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Monroe County Middle College accounts for 27.2% of all Monroe Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Monroe Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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 Isd school enrollment varies 20× across entities
Monroe Isd school enrollment ranges from 16 students (lowest) to 320 students (highest), a spread of 304 students.

Monroe Isd student-counselor ratio is 320:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Monroe Isd is typically wider than the Monroe Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Monroe Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 26.6% — 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 Isd is typically wider than the Monroe Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Monroe Isd has 4 schools, including 2 high, 2 combined. Total enrollment is 1,176 students.
