Stoney Creek Elementary

Summary:

Stoney Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 743 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which is ranked 140 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Stoney Creek Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom third of North Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state tests that are significantly below the state and district averages, particularly in reading. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school, but students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing among the lowest in the state. Interestingly, the school's nearby counterparts, such as David Cox Road Elementary, Vaughan Academy of Technology, and Mallard Creek Elementary, generally perform better on state assessments, despite serving student populations with varying levels of economic disadvantage.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Stoney Creek Elementary, as well as the school's low statewide ranking, suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges related to poverty, resource allocation, and other socioeconomic factors that can impact student learning and achievement. While the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio could be a positive factor, it does not appear to be translating into higher academic performance, indicating that other factors, such as teacher quality, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be playing a more significant role in the school's outcomes.

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.

Open Quote Soo glad I called today to double check my daughters actual start date. As we were given 2 different ones. Two calls later , it was confirmed that it is tomorrow.
Like our experience of Stoney Creek hasn't been crappy enough already.
Thanks for having us wait 15 minutes in the heat before unlocking the doors to parents & children on open day. Really pleasant second impression.
First being all the comments I could find to date writtien about the school. Leaves me feeling this is going to be a long year.
I do hope that the new Principal, Susannah Barr can pull this place up to the standard that is never mind expected but in reality is REQUIRED of a school that as the CMS.
I really hope you teachers do your best for the kids. I know you don't get the best deal as teachers. However, the decision to become a teacher was yours.
Make it count please for the sake of the kids & their future!
Incase you are wondering. We will be volunteers & PTA members. Close Quote

Open Quote I am an aunt of an student that attends Stoney Creek. One day I came to visit my niece and once arriving in the office, I was not immediately greeted. Once, everyone felt the need to acknowledge me, I requested to see my niece. Here is the MOST dangerous part to this review, NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE ever asked me for ID OR to sign into a log, nothing, I was able to leave the office with my niece and 2 of her classmates. Once I left I began to think, this is EXACTLY how children go missing from school. Literally, that day anyone could have come proclaimed to be me and took my niece right out the school.

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.
