School Reviews
2 7/28/2010
I do not recommend this school for any child needing special education services. They are not an inclusive school and do not advocate for their students. There is no parent support.
Review Monroe Elementary School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
