Shelton High School appears to be the standout school in the district, with a strong 88.1% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance has fluctuated, with its statewide ranking ranging from 13th out of 209 Nebraska high schools in 2020-2021 to 98th out of 202 in 2021-2022. Both Shelton Elementary School and Shelton High School have a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% for the 2023-2024 school year, which could be an area of concern.
