Summary:

The city of Sheldon, Missouri has only one high school, Sheldon High, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 79 students. Sheldon High is part of the Sheldon R-VIII school district, which is ranked 327 out of 386 districts in Missouri and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Sheldon High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 233 out of 523 Missouri high schools in 2012-2013 to 448 out of 521 in 2013-2014 and 445 out of 504 in 2014-2015. The school's rating has also varied, from 3 stars out of 5 in 2012-2013 to 1 star out of 5 in the following two years. However, the school has achieved a 100% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, which is an impressive accomplishment. On the other hand, the school's 8th-grade students scored significantly lower than the state average in MAP/English Language Arts proficiency, while its Algebra I End of Course scores were slightly higher than the state average.

With over 56% of Sheldon High's students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely faces socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 17.6%, which is higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, Sheldon High's small size of 79 students may provide more personalized attention for its students, though it may also limit the school's resources and course offerings.
