Summary:
The 68876 zip code is home to a single high school, Shelton High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, there are also areas for potential improvement based on the available data.
Shelton Public Schools reports a 88.1% four-year graduation rate for Shelton High School, which is a positive indicator of student success. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is higher than the state average, suggesting an area for improvement. Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics were generally lower than the state averages, with 8th grade ELA at 50% proficient (vs. 62.77% state) and 11th grade ELA at 25% proficient (vs. 33.35% state).
The data also reveals that 41.96% of Shelton High School students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, the lower test scores and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that the school may be facing challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of its students. Addressing these equity issues and identifying strategies to improve student outcomes could be a priority for the school district.
