Stony Point Elementary ranks 266 th of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Stony Point Elementary is a public elementary school located in Grain Valley, Missouri, serving 473 students in grades K-5 as part of the Grain Valley R-V School District, which is ranked 71 out of 386 school districts in the state.

Stony Point Elementary has shown a mixed performance in academic assessments, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 3-5 generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages. However, the school's performance has fluctuated, with lower proficiency rates in certain grade levels and subject areas, particularly in Mathematics, during the 2022-2023 school year. The school's statewide ranking among Missouri elementary schools has also varied, ranging from a high of 132 out of 1,089 schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 450 out of 898 schools in 2022-2023. Stony Point's current ranking for the 2023-2024 school year is 266 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance for different student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, and Disabled students, has also been mixed, with varying rankings over the years. Additionally, Stony Point Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.5% to 18.5% in recent school years. While the school's spending per student has increased, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, these factors suggest the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to address the inconsistencies in academic performance and the challenges faced by different student subgroups.

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.
