Summary:
There is one elementary school serving grades PK-5 in zip code 47356: Shenandoah Elementary School, which is part of the Shenandoah School Corporation. This school serves a moderate proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with nearly half of its 617 students receiving free or reduced lunch.
Shenandoah Elementary School demonstrates strong performance in mathematics, consistently exceeding both district and state averages in math proficiency. For instance, in the 2024-2025 academic year, the school's overall math proficiency was 71.33%, significantly higher than the district's 41.3%. However, English Language Arts (ELA) performance shows more variability. While the school's overall ELA proficiency for all grades in 2024-2025 (56.64%) is above the district average, it has seen some fluctuations, with a dip in overall proficiency in the 2023-2024 academic year. Science and Social Studies performance are generally in line with or slightly above district averages, with 5th-grade Social Studies proficiency being a particular strength.
The school maintains a stable statewide ranking, consistently earning 4 stars over the past three years, indicating a consistent level of performance within Indiana. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.9 and spending per student of $10,094, the school appears to be well-resourced. A key area for attention is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is elevated and could impact student engagement and academic outcomes. Overall, Shenandoah Elementary School is a solid performer, particularly in math, and generally outperforms its district, but addressing chronic absenteeism and ELA performance fluctuations would further enhance its effectiveness.
