Santa Fe South Hills Elementary School

Summary:

Santa Fe South Hills Elementary School is a public charter school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving around 500 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Santa Fe South (Charter) District, which is ranked 192 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

One key differentiator of Santa Fe South Hills Elementary is its significantly higher Hispanic student population, ranging from 95.2% to 96.76% over the past three years, compared to the more diverse racial compositions of nearby schools like Prairie Queen Elementary and Northmoor Elementary. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages, with proficiency rates around 18% in English Language Arts and 9% in Mathematics for 3rd grade, compared to the district's 14.42% and 10.25%, and the state's 24.9% and 29.4%. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (around 95%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

When comparing Santa Fe South Hills Elementary to other nearby schools, the academic underperformance becomes more evident. For instance, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 23%, while the Oklahoma City district and state averages were 36% and 34%, respectively. Similarly, the school's 5th-grade mathematics proficiency rate of 39% was lower than the district's 50% and the state's 27%. Despite these challenges, the school's performance for specific subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is relatively better compared to the overall school performance. Addressing the unique needs of the student population and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial in improving the school's academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
