Summary:
The city of Shelbyville, Kentucky is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. These schools, which include Marnel C. Moorman School, Wright Elementary, Painted Stone Elementary, Clear Creek Elementary, Southside Elementary, and Northside Early Childhood Center, serve a diverse student population with significant socioeconomic challenges.
While some schools, such as Southside Elementary and Wright Elementary, have performed relatively well on state assessments, the overall academic performance of the Shelby County elementary schools lags behind state averages. Marnel C. Moorman School, Painted Stone Elementary, and Clear Creek Elementary in particular have low rankings and 0-1 star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement.
The high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the district, ranging from 49.88% to 71.22%, suggest that the schools serve communities with significant socioeconomic challenges. This may contribute to the lower academic performance observed, highlighting the need to address the specific factors impacting student achievement and identify strategies to support these students more effectively.
