The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025. Additionally, nearly half (48.4%) of Shiloh Elementary's students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may present additional challenges for the school.
Despite spending $15,596 per student, which is higher than the state average, Shiloh Elementary has not been able to translate this higher spending into improved academic outcomes for its students. The school's consistently low performance, significant proficiency gaps, and high chronic absenteeism suggest that the school faces significant challenges in supporting student learning and achievement.
