Stony Point Elementary

Summary:

Stony Point Elementary is a public elementary school in Stony Point, North Carolina, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Alexander County Schools district, which is ranked 104 out of 242 school districts in the state.

While Stony Point Elementary has a more diverse student population with a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Sugar Loaf Elementary and American Renaissance School, its academic performance has been declining in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 416 out of 1,489 North Carolina elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 843 out of 1,505 in the current school year, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars. Stony Point Elementary's test scores in mathematics and reading are generally lower than the Alexander County Schools district and the state of North Carolina averages.

One potential factor contributing to Stony Point Elementary's academic challenges is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.57% to 82.61% over the past three school years. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 45.69% to 74.79% free and reduced lunch recipients. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.3 to 14.7, which could be a strength if it is not translating into higher academic performance.

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.
