Summary

The school is part of the Kansas City school district, which is ranked 257 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Stony Point South has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating.

Stony Point South faces several challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.1% to 41.2% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the Kansas City and statewide averages. The school's students also perform below the Kansas City and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 34.08% of Stony Point South students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 21.63% for Kansas City and 44.47% for the state. The school's subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, generally perform worse than their peers across the state, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Kansas elementary schools.

Despite the school's consistently low rankings, Stony Point South is located relatively close (less than 3 miles) to some higher-performing elementary schools in other districts, such as Edwardsville Elementary in the Bonner Springs district and Oak Grove Elementary and Turner Elementary in the Turner-Kansas City district, which have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the underlying challenges, such as the high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, could be crucial in improving student outcomes at Stony Point South.
