ROBERT E. LEE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Robert E. Lee Junior High School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the City of Monroe School District school district, located in Monroe, LA with about 464 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 29 teachers, Robert E. Lee Junior High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Robert E. Lee Junior High School, located at 1600 North 19th Street in Monroe, Louisiana, served as a prominent educational institution within the Monroe City School District. For many years, the school functioned as a hub for middle-grades education, providing a curriculum designed to transition students from elementary to high school. The facility itself is situated in a central residential area of Monroe, reflecting the architectural style typical of mid-20th-century public school buildings in the region.

In recent years, the institution has undergone significant changes as part of the broader administrative and structural shifts within the Monroe City School District. Reflecting a national trend toward consolidating resources and modernizing academic programs, the district repurposed the facility to better align with contemporary educational goals. Today, the location remains a notable landmark in the local community, representing the evolving landscape of public education in North Louisiana and the ongoing efforts of the district to provide updated learning environments for its students.
