Santa Fe South Hills Elementary School

Q: Is Santa Fe South Hills Elementary School a good school?

Santa Fe South Hills Elementary School ranks 134 th of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Santa Fe South Hills Elementary School is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with a student population that comes primarily from low-income backgrounds.

The school has shown mixed performance on state assessments in recent years. In the 2023-2024 school year, Santa Fe South Hills Elementary School had higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 4th and 5th grades compared to the Santa Fe South (Charter) District and the state average. However, in the 2020-2021 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state in both subjects across all grades. This inconsistent performance suggests the school may be struggling to maintain consistent academic achievement.

When compared to nearby public schools in the Oklahoma City and Moore districts, Santa Fe South Hills Elementary School has lower spending per student and a higher student-teacher ratio, which may impact the quality of education provided. Despite these challenges, the school has shown the potential to improve, and with targeted interventions and additional resources, it could potentially enhance its overall performance and better serve its student population.

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.
