Elementary Schools in Shelton Public Schools

Summary:

Shelton Public Schools in Nebraska has only one elementary school, Shelton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts, it also faces challenges in areas like Mathematics, Science, and chronic absenteeism. Compared to the state averages, Shelton Elementary School's overall performance and ranking indicate that it is not among the top-performing schools in Nebraska, and there is room for improvement in various aspects of its operations and student outcomes.

Shelton Elementary School has 157 students enrolled and a student-teacher ratio of 13.2, which is slightly lower than the state average. However, 44.59% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ELA ranged from 48% to 69%, generally higher than the state average of around 58%. But in Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 40% to 70%, with some grades performing below the state average of around 60%.

Shelton Elementary School's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% in the 2023-2024 school year is significantly higher than the state average, which is a significant concern and may be contributing to the lower academic performance in some areas. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $20,233, the school's overall performance is not among the top in the state, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement. While the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the Shelton Public Schools district average, it still lags behind the state averages in several areas, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to improve overall academic achievement.
