Summary:

Dove Science Academy South Okc is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Oklahoma City, with 515 students and a student-teacher ratio of 19.2. While the school is part of the Dove Schools of OKC charter district, which is ranked 74 out of 342 districts in the state, Dove Science Academy South Okc has struggled academically compared to the state and district averages.

In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were below the state and Dove Schools of OKC district averages across all grade levels tested. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, Dove scored 52% proficient compared to the district's 62% and the state's 51%. However, the school performs better in some subgroups, ranking 47th out of 97 Oklahoma elementary schools for Hispanic students and 8th out of 58 for English Language Learners.

Dove Science Academy South Okc faces significant challenges, as it spends less per student ($6,007) than nearby public schools like Bryant Elementary ($7,168) and Prairie Queen Elementary ($8,309), and has a higher student-teacher ratio of 19.2 compared to the nearby public schools. To improve overall academic outcomes, the school may need to explore strategies to better support its high-poverty student population and address any resource or staffing disparities.

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.
