School District of Monroe

What School District of Monroe does

The School District of Monroe is a Wisconsin public school district serving approximately 2,280 students from 4-year-old kindergarten through 12th grade across five campuses in Monroe, Green County. The portfolio comprises three elementary schools (Abraham Lincoln Elementary, Northside Elementary, Parkside Elementary), one middle school (Monroe Middle School), and one high school (Monroe High School). The district operates under Wisconsin state education law, is governed by an elected Board of Education, and is funded through a combination of local property taxes, Wisconsin DPI state aid, and federal grants. Student outcomes are tracked publicly via a Data Dashboard that surfaces Wisconsin State Report Card percentiles, including Math Achievement at the 93rd percentile, Target Group Growth at the 90th percentile, and Overall Growth at the 82nd percentile statewide.

The district's core academic and operational stack is built on third-party educational platforms rather than proprietary technology: ParentSquare for district-wide family communications, Skyward as the student information system, Xello for career planning, MasteryPrep for ACT preparation, and OTUS for grading and tracking. Differentiated academic offerings center on the LAUNCH program at Monroe High School — a project-based learning model in which juniors and seniors work in teams of 3-5 with local business mentors across six career strands (Business Analytics, Media Solutions, Behavioral Health, Skilled Building Trades, Healthcare Solutions, and Applied Manufacturing & Entrepreneurship). This is paired with the SOAR program (work experience, internships, Youth Apprenticeships) and a Home Construction Cooperative operated with the Green County Development Corporation. Abraham Lincoln Elementary has been recognized as a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School and 2023-24 Wisconsin School of Recognition.

The business model is fundamentally a publicly funded K-12 education operation with no tuition revenue. Funding flows through state aid formulas, local property taxes (with an Operational Referendum on the April 7, 2026 ballot), federal grants, and minor ancillary fees (for example, a $20 4K materials fee and $0.60 milk cartons). Distribution is geographically constrained: enrollment is open to district-boundary residents, supplemented by Wisconsin's open-enrollment window (February-April). A new Monroe High School campus is scheduled to open in Fall 2026, and the Excellence in Education Foundation (est. 2002) and the Monsignor Thomas F. Campion Fund ($75,000 lifetime sponsorship, January 2026) provide supplementary philanthropic capacity for special education and innovative programming.
