Q: Is Shenandoah Elementary School a good school?

Shenandoah Elementary School ranks 211 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Shenandoah Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Middletown, Indiana, serving 624 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Shenandoah School Corporation, which is ranked 77th out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shenandoah Elementary School consistently outperforms the Shenandoah School Corporation and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores, with 47.22% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 70.14% proficient or better in Math, compared to the district's 44.69% and 57.71% respectively. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 0% in 2020-2021 to 3.3% in 2021-2022, significantly lower than nearby schools like Blue River Valley Elementary (15.2%) and Cowan Elementary (15.7%). However, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 26.74% in 2021-2022 to 45.83% in 2022-2023, which is still lower than some nearby schools like Erskine Elementary (82.02%).

While Shenandoah Elementary School's academic performance remains strong, its statewide ranking has declined from 144th in 2018-2019 to 211th in 2023-2024, possibly due to the performance of other schools improving at a faster rate or changes in the state's assessment and ranking system. The school's consistent academic performance, low chronic absenteeism rates, and strong racial diversity are all positive indicators, but the increasing free and reduced lunch rates suggest that the school may need to adapt its strategies to address changing demographic and educational trends in the region.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
