Stedwick Elementary

Summary:

Stedwick Elementary is a public elementary school located in Montgomery Village, Maryland, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, which is ranked 7th out of 25 districts in Maryland and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Stedwick Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently lower performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. The school's diverse student population, with a high percentage of minority and low-income students, may require specialized instructional strategies and additional resources to support their learning needs. While the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on providing individualized attention, these efforts have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the majority of Stedwick's students.

Stedwick Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Montgomery County Public Schools district, such as Captain James E. Daly Elementary, Strawberry Knoll Elementary, and Fox Chapel Elementary. These nearby schools have higher proficiency rates on state assessments and higher overall rankings within the state.

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.
