Stoney Run Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools.

The higher student-teacher ratio at Stoney Run Elementary, ranging from 12.7 to 17 students per teacher, compared to the nearby schools' ratios of 14.1 to 19 students per teacher, may suggest a need for additional staffing and resources to provide more individualized attention and support for students. Addressing the persistent academic challenges, socioeconomic factors, and racial disparities at Stoney Run Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on targeted interventions, resource allocation, and the implementation of best practices in teaching and learning.

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 This school is a terrible one. In all of our military career we have experienced many different types of schools but this one takes the cake. My daughters teacher would grab my daughters hand, extend her finger and push it onto the book. She also grabbed my daughters head with both hands and forced her to turn a different direction. After reporting it, the principle moved my daughter from the class, the teacher admitted to doing it and said it was because my daughter was not paying attention....but yet nothing was done to her and she is still there teaching. My daughter was diagnosed with ADD and yet rather than working with my daughter and myself the teacher would only send notes home day after day. She would read my notes to her in front of the class humiliating my daughter. I went to the board of education and had my daughter transferred to another school and she is doing WONDERFULLY! Stay clear of this school!! Close Quote

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.
