Summary:
The Shelby County R-IV school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, South Shelby Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 294 students.
South Shelby Elementary has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, ranking between 606 and 732 out of over 900 Missouri elementary schools and receiving 1 or 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally lower than the state averages in mathematics and science, particularly in the upper grades. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts has been more mixed, with 3rd and 4th grade scores below the state average but 5th grade scores above.
Other metrics for South Shelby Elementary suggest areas for improvement, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 15% and a relatively high percentage of students (55.78%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's per-student spending of $11,148 is relatively high, the low academic performance indicates that the resources may not be used as effectively as possible. Overall, the data suggests that South Shelby Elementary faces challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and may need to focus on improving its curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation.
