Summary:
The Santa Fe South Charter district in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, operates six elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92.18% to 98.08%.
Among the schools, Santa Fe South Spero Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 86 out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2024-2025 and achieving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In contrast, Santa Fe South Shidler Elementary School struggled, with only 4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts across all grades.
The district also has a focus on early childhood education, with two schools, Santa Fe South Early Childhood and Santa Fe South Trinity Elementary School, serving only pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students. However, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 19% in 2024-2025 is a concern that may impact student performance across all schools.
