The M-W Community

The Monroe-Woodbury Central School District is located approximately 45 miles north of New York City and geographically includes the towns of Monroe, most of Woodbury and parts of Tuxedo, Chester and Blooming Grove.

M-W serves a population of approximately 36,585 people with 65 percent employed outside the area. Its unique location in the “Lake Region” of Southern Orange County at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains offers the charm of a clean suburban/rural countryside within easy driving distance of New York City. The community has traditionally offered outstanding support for the school district.  A quality education is a major community priority.
