Stone Valley Community Charter School

Q: Is Stone Valley Community Charter School a good school?

Stone Valley Community Charter School ranks 876 th of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Stone Valley Community Charter School is a small public elementary school in Huntingdon, PA that serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade, with a student population of just 82 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been mixed, with the school ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools in recent years.

One notable characteristic of Stone Valley Community Charter School is its predominantly white student body, with over 90% of students identifying as white. This is in stark contrast to the more diverse student populations of nearby public schools like Park Forest Elementary School and Radio Park Elementary School, which are part of the State College Area School District. These nearby public schools consistently outperform Stone Valley Community Charter School on state assessments and have higher school rankings, suggesting that the charter school could learn from their successful practices.

While Stone Valley Community Charter School has seen a steady increase in its per-student spending, from $10,484 in 2018-2019 to $14,847 in 2021-2022, its academic performance has been inconsistent. The school outperforms the state average in some areas, such as science proficiency, but underperforms in others, particularly in math, where its proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been declining in recent years, from a high of 714 in 2020-2021 to 876 in 2022-2023, indicating the need for the school to critically evaluate its operations and implement strategies to improve its overall performance and competitiveness.

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.
