Summary

Dove Science Academy Elementary School-South Okc is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Oklahoma City, with 515 students. The school is part of the Dove Schools of OKC charter district, which is ranked 40th out of 452 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dove Science Academy has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.58% to 92.07% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby public schools. While the school's overall performance is below the state average, it ranks highly for specific student subgroups, such as 14th out of 110 Oklahoma elementary schools for Hispanic students and 12th out of 83 schools for English Language Learners, both with 4-star ratings. The school has also seen relatively low chronic absenteeism rates compared to nearby public schools.

Dove Science Academy's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, has been inconsistent over the years. The school outperforms the state average in mathematics, but its English Language Arts proficiency rates have been well below the state and district averages. This may be due to the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. In comparison, the nearby Santa Fe South Spero Elementary School, another public charter school, outperforms Dove Science Academy on most academic measures, highlighting the potential for charter schools to achieve stronger academic outcomes even when serving similar high-poverty student populations.
