Saint Stephens Elementary

Summary:

Saint Stephens Elementary is a public elementary school located in Conover, North Carolina, serving 698 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Catawba County Schools district, which is ranked 71 out of 242 districts in the state.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Saint Stephens Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools over the past 10 years, with significantly lower academic performance on state standardized tests compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 39.4% of 3rd-grade students at Saint Stephens Elementary were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 65% for the Catawba County Schools district and 62.7% for the state. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (36.96%) and African American (16.76%) students compared to nearby schools like Lyle Creek Elementary, Clyde Campbell Elementary, and Snow Creek Elementary, may require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these student groups.

Another notable characteristic of Saint Stephens Elementary is its exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.65% to 99.58% over the past three school years. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which have free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 52.82% to 80.98%. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.7 to 14.4, may indicate its ability to provide more individualized attention to students, but the consistently low academic performance suggests that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio, such as teacher quality, professional development, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
