Epic Charter School Elementary

Summary:

Epic Charter School Elementary is a public charter virtual elementary school located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 13,702 students. The school is part of the EPIC Charter School district, which is ranked 321 out of 342 districts in Oklahoma and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Epic Charter School Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Oklahoma, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 66-74% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, at $13,530 per student in 2018-2019, the school's academic outcomes do not reflect this investment, and it has a higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby public schools.

The nearby public elementary schools, such as Coronado Heights, Arbor Grove, and Wilson, generally outperform Epic Charter School Elementary in academic proficiency, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics, such as instructional quality and school leadership, may be contributing to the differences in academic outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
