Summary

Shook Elementary is a public elementary school located in Marshfield, Missouri, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 456 students. It is part of the Marshfield R-I school district, which is ranked 60 out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Shook Elementary is performing well overall, particularly in serving its economically disadvantaged student population, where it consistently ranks very high (top 15%) among Missouri elementary schools. The school's test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently above the state average, often by a significant margin. However, the school may need to focus on improving support for its special education students, as its ranking for this subgroup has been more mixed, ranging from top 50% to bottom 25% of Missouri elementary schools in recent years. Additionally, Shook Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.2% to 17.4% in recent years, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address.

Compared to nearby schools, Shook Elementary's performance is generally stronger than the other elementary schools in the Marshfield R-I district, such as Edwin P. Hubble Elementary and Daniel Webster Elementary. However, the nearby Fair Grove Elementary, which is in a different district, outperforms Shook Elementary in several key metrics, including test scores and school ranking.
