EPIC Charter School

The Epic Virtual Charter school district in Oklahoma operates two schools: Epic Charter School Elementary and Epic Charter School High School. Both schools are performing significantly below state averages across a range of metrics, including test scores, school rankings, and student-teacher ratios.

The elementary school has particularly low proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts (12-18%), Mathematics (9-16%), and Science (21% for 5th grade, 29% for 8th grade), all well below the state averages. The high school fares slightly better but still struggles, with an English Language Arts proficiency rate of 25% and a Mathematics proficiency rate of just 7% for 11th graders. Both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 65%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the elementary school spends significantly more per student ($13,530) compared to the high school ($1,387), raising questions about the allocation of resources and its potential impact on student outcomes. Additionally, both schools have seen their rankings decline over time, with the high school now ranking among the bottom 25% of Oklahoma high schools. Overall, the data suggests that the Epic Virtual Charter district as a whole is struggling to provide quality education to its students and may need to implement targeted interventions to improve academic performance across the board.
