Schools in Monroe County

About schools in Monroe County

Four public schools, one district, one main town — Monroe County keeps things simple, and the results speak for themselves. Three of those four schools rank in the top quartile statewide, a consistency that's hard to find in a county this size. Mary Persons High School leads the way at the 84th percentile, with T.G. Scott Elementary close behind at the 81st. Families moving to Forsyth aren't navigating a sprawling system or weighing dozens of options — they're stepping into a compact, high-performing district where strong outcomes appear to be the norm rather than the exception.
