Summary:
The 44875 zip code area has only one elementary school, Shelby Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. This school has a student population of 900, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White at 95%, and smaller percentages of Hispanic and other minority students.
Shelby City Elementary School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, despite fluctuations in its statewide ranking. While the school's 3rd and 4th-grade test scores in math and ELA are above the state average, the 5th-grade scores in math and science are slightly below the state average, indicating a need to focus on improving academic outcomes for older elementary students. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.6% is higher than the state's average, which could be a factor impacting academic performance and should be addressed.
With a student-teacher ratio of 21.9 and a spending per student of $9,365 for the 2018-2019 school year, Shelby Elementary School appears to be a relatively average-performing school within the state of Ohio. The school's lack of diversity, with a 95% White student population, may present challenges in providing a well-rounded educational experience for students. Overall, the data suggests that while Shelby Elementary has some areas of strength, there are also opportunities for improvement to enhance the educational outcomes for the students in this community.
