Dove Science Academy South Okc

Summary:

Dove Science Academy South Okc is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in Oklahoma City, with a student population of 454 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student body, making up 79.52% of the population, and a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 80.58% to 92.07% over the past three years.

While Dove Science Academy South Okc has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years, its Hispanic and English language learner subgroups perform relatively better compared to their peers. In the 2020-2021 school year, the school ranked 47th out of 97 Oklahoma elementary schools for Hispanic students and 8th out of 58 for English language learners. However, the school's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly for economically disadvantaged and English language learner subgroups.

Dove Science Academy South Okc's performance is generally lower than the nearby public schools, such as Bryant Elementary, Sky Ranch Elementary, and Northmoor Elementary, which are part of the Moore Public Schools district. These schools have higher academic proficiency rates and better overall rankings compared to Dove Science Academy South Okc. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($5,297 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby public schools, which range from $6,007 to $9,426 per student, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
