Roy Neal Shelling Senior Elementary

Summary:

Roy Neal Shelling Senior Elementary is a public elementary school in Monroe, Louisiana, serving 434 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the City of Monroe School District, which is ranked 87 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being located in Monroe, Roy Neal Shelling Senior Elementary stands out from nearby schools like Sallie Humble Elementary and J.S. Clark Magnet Elementary, which are ranked in the top 20% and top 5% of Louisiana elementary schools, respectively. Roy Neal Shelling Senior Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 4 years. Its proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels, particularly for female students, male students, African American students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

The school's challenges extend beyond academics. Roy Neal Shelling Senior Elementary has a student population that is overwhelmingly African American (98.16%), in contrast with the more diverse racial compositions of surrounding schools. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While these factors present significant obstacles, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement if the school can learn from the successful practices of higher-performing nearby schools and address the socioeconomic factors impacting student learning.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
