Summary

Stone Ranch Elementary is a 692-student school serving kindergarten through grade five in San Diego’s Poway Unified area. Its results are strong compared with California overall, though it is not a local test-score leader. The clearest grade-level concern is third grade, especially in English language arts, with stronger results by fifth grade.

Across all grades, Stone Ranch is above the district and state in English language arts, math, and science: its proficiency rates are 78%, 75%, and 69%, compared with 74%, 66%, and 64% for Poway Unified, and 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. But among Stone Ranch and nine nearby K–5 schools, it ranks fifth in English language arts, sixth in math, and fifth in science, close to local averages in all three subjects. Third-grade ELA was 67%, below the district’s 70%, and Stone Ranch ranked ninth of 11 nearby schools; third-grade math was 72% versus 74%, also ninth. By fifth grade, it exceeded the district in ELA, 84% to 76%, and math, 77% to 67%.

Over time, the school’s results have fluctuated, but its advantage over state proficiency rates narrowed between 2022–2023 and 2025–2026 in all three subjects: by about 5 points in ELA, 8 in math, and 5 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Stone Ranch 377th of 5,804 California schools, at the 94th percentile with five stars. Chronic absenteeism fell from 12% in 2021–2022 to 5% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 8% and state’s 18%. Its free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 10% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness rankings are lower for two reported groups: White students rank at the 61st percentile and Multi-racial students at the 52nd, compared with 94th overall; the Multi-racial ranking fell 25 percentile points in one year. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 23.2.
