District Snapshot

These are North Adams figures, not Monroe’s own; Monroe runs no schools. High needs is a state count, not a score. It includes every student who is from a low income household, learning English, or receiving special education services, and counts each one only once. The median across all 396 Massachusetts districts is 46.7 percent.
