Best Public Schools in Stanfield, NC

Summary:

The city of Stanfield, North Carolina is home to a single public elementary school, Stanfield Elementary, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 394 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it faces some academic challenges compared to state and county averages, particularly in 3rd and 5th grade mathematics and reading proficiency. However, the school also shows strengths in 4th grade mathematics and 5th grade science, where its proficiency rates exceed the state and county benchmarks.

Stanfield Elementary's student population is predominantly economically disadvantaged, with an extremely high rate of 99.24% free/reduced lunch recipients. This high poverty level may contribute to the school's uneven academic performance and could present unique challenges in providing additional support and resources to help students succeed. Despite these challenges, the school's spending per student of $9,984 is slightly above the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.3 is slightly lower than the state average.

Overall, Stanfield Elementary has a low ranking within the state, ranking 748 out of 1,505 North Carolina elementary schools, and a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. While the school faces some significant hurdles, addressing its weaknesses and building upon its strengths could be key to improving overall student outcomes and the school's standing within the Stanly County Schools district.
