Shook Elementary

Q: Is Shook Elementary a good school?

Shook Elementary ranks 386 th of 898 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Shook Elementary is a public elementary school located in Marshfield, Missouri, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 451 students. The school is part of the Marshfield R-I school district, which is ranked 90 out of 376 districts in Missouri and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Shook Elementary has a higher percentage of white students (88.03%) compared to the state average, and its academic performance is mixed. While the school outperformed the state average in 4th-grade Mathematics and English Language Arts, its 5th-grade performance was below the state average. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.26% to 51.08% over the past three school years, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. However, Shook Elementary's spending per student has increased, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may have contributed to its stronger 4th-grade performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Shook Elementary's performance is not consistently strong across all grade levels. For example, Fair Grove Elementary outperforms Shook Elementary, despite having a similar demographic profile. This suggests that Shook Elementary may need to focus on improving the academic outcomes for its 5th-grade students to ensure more consistent performance across all grade levels.

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.
