Stonegate Elementary

Q: Is Stonegate Elementary a good school?

Stonegate Elementary ranks 636 th of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Stonegate Elementary is a public elementary school located in Raymore, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a student population of 310. It is part of the Raymore-Peculiar R-II school district, which is ranked 127 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stonegate Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 180th out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 636th out of 906 in 2023-2024. The school generally underperforms the district and state in both mathematics and English language arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels, with particularly concerning performance for certain student subgroups. For example, in 2023-2024, Stonegate's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 31.4% compared to the district's 39.1% and the state's 40.8%. Additionally, Stonegate has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.4% to 17.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Stonegate Elementary has increased its per-student spending and maintained relatively small class sizes, these efforts have not yet translated into significant improvements in student outcomes. Nearby schools within the Raymore-Peculiar R-II district, such as Timber Creek Elementary, Creekmoor Elementary, and Bridle Ridge Elementary, generally outperform Stonegate Elementary in academic proficiency. This suggests that Stonegate may benefit from learning from the successful strategies employed by these higher-performing neighboring schools.

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.
