Stony Point South has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grades, with particularly low performance in 4th grade ELA and Math. Stony Point South's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing very poorly.

Despite spending $12,005 per student, which is higher than the spending at some nearby schools, Stony Point South has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of around 12-13 students per teacher. The school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving performance. Interestingly, Stony Point North, a school located less than a mile from Stony Point South, has significantly higher student performance across all subjects and grade levels.

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.

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.
