Summary

Santa Fe Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Moore, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 417 students. The school is part of the Moore School District, which is ranked 140 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Moore School District, Santa Fe Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state of Oklahoma in standardized test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 35% and 34% for the Moore district, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15.3% to 19.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Further analysis reveals that Eastlake Elementary School, which is only 1.53 miles away from Santa Fe Elementary, outperforms it in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency by a wide margin. This disparity in performance may be attributed to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Santa Fe Elementary, with 73.38% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from being ranked 135 out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011 to being ranked 439 out of 614 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
