Summary:
The city of Stony Point, North Carolina has only one public elementary school, Stony Point Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 207 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (67.63%) with significant Hispanic representation (25.12%), and it has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 82.61% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Stony Point Elementary struggles compared to district and state averages, with lower proficiency rates in mathematics and reading across grades 3-5. However, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rates are higher than the Alexander County Schools and North Carolina state averages, suggesting a potential area of strength. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,469, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7.
Overall, the data indicates that Stony Point Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly in mathematics and reading, which may be linked to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students it serves. While the school's strong science proficiency rates are a positive, targeted interventions and additional resources may be needed to address the learning needs of its student population and improve overall academic outcomes.
