Summary:
The city of Shelbyville, Illinois, is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Moulton Elementary School and Shelbyville High School stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, with strong academic outcomes and college readiness.
Moulton Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on ELA and Math assessments, with 71.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and 33.9% in Math for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 may contribute to its strong academic performance, and it is ranked in the top 27% of Illinois middle schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Shelbyville High School also performs well, with 61.1% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT English and 48.6% in ACT Math, and a high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% in the 2024-2025 school year.
However, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4% across all schools, which may impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 42.32% to 48.31%. Addressing these issues and ensuring equitable access to resources and support for all students will be crucial for the district to promote student success.
