Summary:
The 68662 zip code area is home to 3 public schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Shelby - Rising City Public Schools district. While the schools show some standout performance, particularly at the elementary and high school levels, they also face challenges related to equity and declining ratings.
Shelby - Rising City Elementary School stands out for outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Science for 5th graders, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1. Meanwhile, Shelby - Rising City High School excels in Mathematics proficiency for 11th graders and also maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 8.8. However, the schools generally perform below the state average in other subject areas and grade levels.
Across the district, the high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 29.25% at the elementary school to 44.55% at the high school, suggest a significant portion of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Additionally, the schools' historical School Digger rankings show a declining trend, with the elementary and middle schools dropping from 3 and 4 stars to 1 and 2 stars over the past few years. These factors indicate potential equity concerns and areas for improvement in resource allocation and targeted interventions to support student success.
