Summary:
The Epic Virtual Charter district in Oklahoma contains a single elementary school, Epic Charter School Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This virtual charter school has consistently underperformed academically compared to other elementary schools in the state, ranking in the bottom 10% for the past three years.
Epic Charter School Elementary's student population is diverse, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's academic performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from just 9% to 16% in math and 14% in 3rd grade English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 15% to 34% in math and 29% in 3rd grade ELA. Despite higher-than-average per-student spending, the school's resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes, raising concerns about the efficiency and effectiveness of the virtual charter school model.
The data suggests that Epic Virtual Charter may face challenges in delivering quality education to its students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The consistently low academic performance at Epic Charter School Elementary indicates a need for the district to closely examine its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
