Stonegate Elementary

Summary:

Stonegate Elementary is a public elementary school in Silver Spring, Maryland, serving around 490 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, Stonegate consistently performs above state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments, with particularly strong 5th grade ELA results.

Stonegate's diverse student population, with 18.98% White, 34.29% African American, 26.53% Hispanic, and 12.65% Asian students, is higher than nearby schools like Wheaton Woods Elementary and Brookhaven Elementary. The school's African American students perform exceptionally well, ranking 42nd out of 504 Maryland elementary schools in this subgroup, and its female students also rank strongly at 184th out of 796 schools. Additionally, Stonegate has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 24.49% to 33.06% over the past three years, compared to the higher rates at nearby schools.

Stonegate's consistent high performance, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests the school is effectively serving students from diverse backgrounds and providing an equitable education. While the school's overall success is noteworthy, there may be opportunities to further support the performance of its Asian and Hispanic student subgroups, and to address the slightly higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools. Stonegate's practices and resources could serve as a valuable model for improving educational excellence and equity across the region.

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.
