Summary

Santa Fe South Hills Elementary School is a public charter school serving 489 students in grades PK-5 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The school is part of the Santa Fe South Charter District, which is ranked 210 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Santa Fe South Hills Elementary has struggled compared to the state and its own district, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science. However, the school performed better in Mathematics, with 45% proficiency compared to 26% statewide and 35% district-wide. The school has shown strengths in serving certain student subgroups, ranking highly for Hispanic students and English Language Learners in ELA, as well as students of low socioeconomic status in Mathematics. Unfortunately, the school has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.8% in 2022-2023 to 19.0% in 2024-2025.

When compared to nearby schools, the two other charter schools in the Santa Fe South Charter District generally outperform Santa Fe South Hills Elementary, suggesting the charter model may be more effective in this district. However, the school still performs better than some traditional public schools in the area, such as Prairie Queen Elementary and Bodine Elementary, which are part of the Oklahoma City Public School District. This indicates that the charter school may be providing a better educational experience for its students compared to some traditional public schools in the area.
