Summary:

Stonegate Elementary is a public K-8 school in West Sacramento, California, serving 883 students as part of the Washington Unified School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, with 48.96% proficiency in English Language Arts and 41.65% in Math, compared to 41.7% and 27.3% for the district, and 47.04% and 35.54% for the state.

While Stonegate Elementary has seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 23.6% in 2021-2022 to 16.9% in 2022-2023, its rate is still higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 41.34%, indicating a larger proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Stonegate's student-teacher ratio of 21.7 is slightly higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Stonegate outperforms Westmore Oaks Elementary and Washington Unified Virtual Academy in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools in the Sacramento City Unified School District, such as William Land Elementary and Crocker/Riverside Elementary. Stonegate's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with challenges in addressing the needs of Asian, multi-racial, and low-socioeconomic students.

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.
