Santa Fe South High School

Summary:

Santa Fe South High School is a public charter high school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 1,090 students. The school is part of the Santa Fe South (Charter) district, which is ranked 169 out of 342 districts in the state.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $10,663 in 2018-2019, Santa Fe South High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma high schools, with only 15.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 2.6% proficient or better in Mathematics in 2023-2024. This academic performance is significantly lower than the nearby Santa Fe S Pathways Mid Colleg, which is ranked in the top 6% of Oklahoma high schools. The school's four-year graduation rate, ranging from 79.7% to 92.1%, is generally on par with the state and district averages, but lower than the 80.1% rate at Santa Fe S Pathways Mid Colleg.

The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Santa Fe South High School, with 91.83% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, is significantly higher than the nearby Moore High School and Westmoore High School, which have free/reduced-price lunch rates of 47.33% and 45.28%, respectively. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges in addressing the educational needs of its student population, despite the higher per-student spending.

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.
