Gray Stone Day

Summary:

Gray Stone Day is a public charter high school located in Misenheimer, North Carolina, serving students in grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 751 students. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, earning 5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger in several past school years.

Gray Stone Day stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students significantly outperforming state averages on standardized tests across subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in EOG/Mathematics, EOG/Reading, and EOC/English II were much higher than the state's. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its strong academic results. However, Gray Stone Day's student population is less racially diverse compared to some nearby schools, such as Stanly Early College High and Stanly STEM Early College, which also demonstrate impressive academic performance.

Interestingly, Gray Stone Day performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as female students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking significantly higher for these groups compared to its overall ranking. This suggests that the school is effectively supporting the academic success of these students. While Gray Stone Day's academic excellence is undeniable, the school's relative racial homogeneity and socioeconomic factors may be areas for further exploration and consideration as it continues to serve the educational needs of its community, which is primarily located within the Stanly County Schools district.

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.
