Stony Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Stony Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Littleton, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of around 350 students. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 35 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stony Creek Elementary consistently outperforms the Jefferson County School District and the state of Colorado in academic assessments, with higher proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts and CMAS Math. The school also has a more diverse student population compared to many nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and Asian students. Additionally, Stony Creek has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 36.57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, yet the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8.

Despite the challenges of serving a population with a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Stony Creek Elementary has been able to achieve high academic outcomes, ranking in the top 25% of Colorado elementary schools for the past several years. This is particularly impressive when compared to nearby schools like Ute Meadows Elementary, which has a significantly lower percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds but does not outperform Stony Creek in academic assessments.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote The worst elementary school my child has ever attended the principal allows bullying and she actually rewards the bullies! She turns the victims into the problem! Be careful because she (the principal) puts up a nice fake front! The bullies are in charge and she has zero control! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
