I went here all through school and my kids currently go here, elementary and high school. Majority of teachers are amazing. I have never seen racism or bullying. My kids have friends from all different ethnicities and have never had a problem. It's a small town school and I think many people moving in from the city want to change it. When they don't get their way, they take to the internet with bad reviews.

I’ve been to 8 different schools since elementary, I gotta say this ones the absolute worst... the constant racism some of these white students have.. I hate going here as a person of color as they have no respect for any other religion or race.. disgusting

I’m a very shy and quite type of person and I definitely feel respected and haven’t been bullied even once. The teachers are always there to help even if it’s not related to teaching. However there are(like with any other school) a few groups of students that are “self-absorbed” and ”good for nothing” type of kids. This is more of a problem with the district rather than the school itself. All in all, I definitely love this school and as an unpopular type of person I still feel like people care that you're there and even if getting friends is hard for you, you'll eventually end up is a group of friends.

Awful. This school is too focused on sports and popularity. I decided in my sophmore year at Monroe High School to move to Running Start with the Ocean Research College Academy (ORCA) program. I have gotten way more out of that them my entire 2 years at MHS. People here at this school focus way more on popularity and white superiority and care about no one else. No respect for the differences and diversity. I work extremely hard in my running start program and the school gives no credit about it. I never even really hear whats going on at MHS unless my friends that are still at MHS tell me so. The school tells me nothing now except when to take the SBAC. I feel very misrepresented at this school. My recommendation for future students at MHS: make sure to try to do running start its way more better for learning than with sticking to the high school all 4 years. Colleges will appreciate it more also.

Terrible. The school has no respect, diversity, or respect for culture. There is over 70% white people who are here, and you can tell they hate everyone else. The school money only goes to sports, none to drama, choir, arts, or band. I wish the score could go into the negative.

I am currently a student at Monroe hs...the school is good but their bullying policies suck. I was threatened by the same person more than once while she had a knife on her and the Dean of students failed to put a stop to it until my father took matters into his own hands and handled himself. The school has an amazing band program I being a band student for 6 years Ms. White is an outstanding band director and is known throughout the state of Washington. I like this school but I also don't like how the counselors and Dean of students can't handle bullying the way it should be handled.

This school is truly amazing. As an honors student I know I will always be challenged and my teachers will push me not just for college but for life. I participate in band (we have one of the largest groups in Washington, and our band director pushes us to work hard so we always sound our best) as well as drama club. While it is true that our drama PAC may not be perfect, the group gets a lot of support from the student body and staff, and we continue to receive 5th Avenue award nominations. (We also have a new choir teacher and drama teacher that have great ideas and will definitely be around for a while.) All arts students create bonds that really do last. Teachers in every area work to get students involved and identify ways to make learning more interesting, as well as improve their own methods to fit their students' learning styles. There are really no ways the school could improve its efforts to help students who want to learn.
