Q: Is Stone Creek Elementary School a good school?

Stone Creek Elementary School ranks 854 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Stone Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rossville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 425 students. The school is part of the Walker County School District, which is ranked 98 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $8,805 to $10,655 over the past few years, Stone Creek Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Walker County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 16.1% to 45% at Stone Creek, compared to 28.5% to 48.5% for Walker County and 37% to 48.2% for the state. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science is also significantly below the district and state averages. As a result, Stone Creek Elementary has a low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data also shows that Stone Creek Elementary is significantly underperforming compared to other nearby schools in the Walker County and Catoosa County districts. For example, Chattanooga Valley Elementary, which is just 2.93 miles away, consistently outperforms Stone Creek on the Milestones Assessments and has a much higher statewide ranking (4-star rating). The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Stone Creek Elementary, ranging from 84% to 86.49% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance.

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.
