Stone Spring Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently lower test scores than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 35.44%, compared to 52.29% for the district and 72.89% for the state. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.8% to 21.6% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
