Shenandoah Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Shenandoah Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 136 students. The school is part of the St. Louis City School District, which is ranked 353 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shenandoah Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Missouri elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school's performance is significantly below state and district averages, with only 8.4% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics and 5.9% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, Shenandoah Elementary has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 50.1% to 59.0% in recent years, which is much higher than the state average.

The challenges facing Shenandoah Elementary are not unique, as the majority of the surrounding schools in the St. Louis City School District, such as Nahed Chapman New American Academy, Hodgen Elementary, and Sigel Elementary Community Education Center, also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism. The nearby The Leadership School and KIPP Wisdom Academy charter schools have slightly better academic performance, but still lag behind state averages.
