The school itself received a 2-star rating and was ranked 517th out of 1016 Indiana elementary schools in 2022-2023.

Academically, Shakamak Elementary School shows mixed results. For the 2023-2024 school year, 3rd-grade students demonstrated strong proficiency in Math, with 62.79% meeting standards, which is higher than both the district average and the state average. However, overall proficiency in English Language Arts across all grades was 36.61%, and in Math was 46.45%. Projected data for the 2024-2025 school year shows a decline in proficiency rates for both ELA and Math across all grades, with 3rd-grade ELA proficiency projected at 31.58% and Math at 47.37%, both below the state averages. These trends suggest that while the school has areas of strength, particularly in 3rd-grade math, there are opportunities for improvement in other academic areas, especially in English Language Arts, and a need to address the chronic absenteeism.
