SHILOH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Shiloh Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Shiloh CUSD 1 school district, located in Hume, IL with about 195 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 14 teachers, Shiloh Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Shiloh Elementary School, located in the rural community of Hume, Illinois, serves as a central hub for primary education within the Shiloh Community Unit School District 1. As a small-town institution, the school fosters a close-knit environment that emphasizes personalized attention and a strong sense of community. By serving students in the surrounding agricultural region, the school maintains a focus on foundational academic development while striving to integrate modern educational standards within its traditional setting.

The school is known for its commitment to creating a supportive atmosphere where educators work closely with both students and families to ensure academic and social growth. Because of its location in a smaller district, Shiloh Elementary often benefits from smaller class sizes, allowing for meaningful teacher-student relationships. While it operates in a quiet, rural landscape, the school remains dedicated to preparing its students for success in higher grades by focusing on core curriculum competencies and character development.
