Stone Elementary

Summary:

Stone Elementary is a public elementary school in Hobbs, New Mexico, serving 404 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hobbs school district, which is ranked 74 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stone Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of New Mexico elementary schools, with strong academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceeds the district and state averages. However, the school's Science scores lag behind the district and state. The school's performance also varies across different student groups, with female students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds performing better than male students and Hispanic/White students. With over 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Stone Elementary serves a predominantly low-income community, which may present unique challenges. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, which could impact the level of individualized attention available to students.

Overall, Stone Elementary appears to be a solid-performing school within the Hobbs district, though there are areas for improvement, particularly in addressing achievement gaps and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students. The school's high poverty levels and relatively high student-teacher ratio are important factors to consider in the school's context and future planning.

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.
