Summary:
The Shelby County R-IV school district in Missouri has one elementary school, South Shelby Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 294 students.
South Shelby Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 92.86% of students identifying as white. The school's academic performance is mixed, with 3rd-grade math scores exceeding the state average but 4th- and 5th-grade math and English language arts scores falling below state averages. Additionally, 55.78% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($11,148) and low student-teacher ratio (11.2 to 1), the academic outcomes suggest that South Shelby Elementary may need to focus on improving its overall performance, particularly in English language arts. The school's demographic composition and economic challenges also highlight the need for a more holistic approach to supporting student success.
