Summary:

The 62565 zip code in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Main Street Elementary School and Shelbyville Kindergarten Center. While the Shelbyville Kindergarten Center serves only kindergarten students, Shelbyville CUSD 4 district's Main Street Elementary School stands out as an exceptional performer, with significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages.

In the 2024-2025 school year, 73.1% of Main Street Elementary School students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 71.9% for the district and 53.1% for the state. The school's Mathematics proficiency rates were even more impressive, with 78.5% of students proficient or better, compared to 41.6% for the district and 38.5% for the state. Main Street Elementary School's performance has also improved over time, with proficiency rates increasing from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025.

While both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates (25.4%) and relatively high free/reduced lunch rates (48% and 48.31%), Main Street Elementary School's exceptional academic performance, higher spending per student ($11,907), and lower student-teacher ratio (15.5) suggest that the school is doing an excellent job of educating its students. Further investigation into the factors contributing to Main Street's success could provide valuable insights for the district and community.
