Summary:

The zip code 63468 is home to a single public middle school, South Shelby Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and has a total enrollment of 136 students. The school is part of the Shelby County R-IV school district, which is ranked 250 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

South Shelby Middle School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 187 out of 451 Missouri middle schools in 2023-2024 (3-star rating) to 295 out of 459 in 2022-2023 (2-star rating). The school's academic performance is mixed, with some areas of strength, such as 7th grade math proficiency exceeding the state average, and some areas of weakness, such as 8th grade math and 6th-7th grade English Language Arts proficiency falling below state averages. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (51.47%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the mixed academic performance, South Shelby Middle School's low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 could be a potential strength, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $10,692. Overall, this small, rural middle school serves a community with economic challenges, and its academic outcomes suggest areas for potential improvement or further investigation to better understand the factors driving its performance.
