Stone Creek School

Summary:

Stone Creek School is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Edwards, Colorado, serving 295 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50, which is ranked 45th out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Stone Creek School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (68.47%) compared to the more diverse surrounding schools like Avon Elementary School (89.86% Hispanic) and Gypsum Elementary School (87.01% Hispanic), its academic performance has been declining. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33.8%) and Math (29%) were below the State Charter School Institute's (40.5% and 29.7%) and Colorado's (44.1% and 34.2%) averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have dropped from a high of 238th out of 929 Colorado elementary schools and a 4-star rating in 2016-2017 to a ranking of 567th out of 943 schools and a 2-star rating in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, the nearby Eagle County Charter Academy, another public charter school, consistently outperforms Stone Creek School in academic measures, ranking in the top 25% of Colorado elementary schools with a 4-star rating. The lower performance of specific student groups, such as female and male students, at Stone Creek School compared to the state averages may also indicate potential equity issues that warrant further analysis.

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.
