Stonegate Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 21.29% African American, 9.03% Hispanic, and 7.1% two or more races, higher than the surrounding schools. It also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 40%, compared to nearby schools ranging from 23.71% to 34.47%. Additionally, Stonegate has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.8, lower than the 12.3 to 15.3 range of nearby schools.

Stonegate Elementary's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 180 out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 339 out of 898 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of Timber Creek Elementary and Creekmoor Elementary, which have higher test scores and statewide rankings. Stonegate also faces achievement gaps between different racial groups, indicating a need for targeted interventions to support all students.

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.
