Monroe Elementary in Brooklyn Park Celebrates State Test Score Gains

Monroe Elementary in Brooklyn Park is a diverse school with 70 percent students of color. It also has shown tremendous gains in test scores following a drop during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to newly released 2023 state figures, nearly 64 percent of Monroe students met state science and math standards and nearly 52 percent met state reading standards. That's up from below 50 percent for all three subjects the year before. “We are seeing staff thinking back to last year when they’re planning, ‘Okay, that worked, let’s do that again. That didn’t work, let’s not do that again,’” said Amy Oliver, principal of Monroe Elementary.
