Monroe Elementary School has been home to budding learners in Hinsdale since 1928. There have been many building additions over the years, but the school's towering brick and stone facade has remained. Monroe is one of four elementary schools in Hinsdale and has been recognized with the distinguished Great Schools Award, scoring a 10 out of 10 rating.
Monroe's teachers and faculty emphasize a nurturing, structured environment while learning. The school's PTO has dozens of enthusiastic parents who volunteer for various positions throughout the year, such as Room Parent, the annual Book Fair and Kids Care Club.
