Santa Fe Elementary School

Summary:

Santa Fe Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 414 students in grades PK-6 in the Moore School District in Oklahoma.

While Santa Fe Elementary has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes 43.96% White, 25.12% Hispanic, and 14.73% two or more races, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 41% of 3rd graders at Santa Fe were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 64% in the Moore district and 51% statewide. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly higher than nearby schools. As a result, Santa Fe Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 4 stars out of 5 in 2014-2015 to just 0 stars out of 5 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year, placing it in the bottom 10% of Oklahoma elementary schools.

When compared to nearby elementary schools in the Moore School District, such as Eastlake Elementary, which consistently outperforms Santa Fe in both ELA and Math proficiency, the challenges facing Santa Fe Elementary become even more apparent. Addressing these issues, including the school's academic performance, socioeconomic challenges, and declining statewide ranking, will be crucial for Santa Fe Elementary to provide a high-quality education for its students.

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.
