Summary:
Shoals Community School Corp has only one elementary school, Shoals Community Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 316 students. The school's performance on key metrics suggests it is struggling academically compared to state averages, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies across all grade levels.
Shoals Community Elementary School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is likely contributing to the low academic performance. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (55.06%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student ($12,434) is higher than the state average, but this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes, suggesting the district and school may need to evaluate how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning.
The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 21.7, which could be a factor in the low academic performance. Addressing these challenges, such as improving attendance, providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students, and optimizing resource allocation and class sizes, could be key areas for the Shoals Community School Corp to focus on in order to improve the academic outcomes for students at Shoals Community Elementary School.
