Summary:

The city of Shelby, Ohio is home to a single elementary school, Shelby Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. This school has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 38% of elementary schools in the state of Ohio for the 2024-2025 school year.

Shelby Elementary School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 3 years, indicating stable and consistent performance. The school outperforms the state average on several key test score metrics, including 5th grade science proficiency (72.7% vs. 63.4% statewide) and 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency (80.3% vs. 67.7% statewide). With an enrollment of 916 students and a student-teacher ratio of 21.8, the school appears to be a sizable and well-resourced institution.

While the school's performance is commendable, there is room for improvement in addressing its chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7%, which is slightly higher than the state's target of 10% or less. Additionally, the lack of data on the school's free/reduced lunch rate makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting the school's performance. Overall, Shelby Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing school within the Shelby City district and the state of Ohio.
