SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 626 Oklahoma Elementary Schools

Better than 4% of Oklahoma elementary schools

Summary

Esperanza Elementary School serves 437 students in prekindergarten through grade 4 in Oklahoma City, in the Oklahoma City district. Its 2025–26 proficiency was 9% in English language arts and 8% in math, both below state and district results. The most important concern is math: among seven nearby elementary schools in the same district, Esperanza tied for the lowest all-grades score and had the lowest fourth-grade math result.

Esperanza’s ELA result is close to the nearby schools’ average, but math falls further behind: its 9% ELA proficiency was 1 point below the peer average of 10%, while its 8% math proficiency was 8 points below the average of 16%, tied with Rockwood Elementary School for the lowest score. Fourth-grade math was particularly weak at 8%, compared with a peer average of 17%, the state’s 33% and the district’s 19%. Across all grades, ELA was 17 points below the state and 6 below the district; math had the same gaps. One local contrast: Arthur Elementary School had a similar directly certified for free meals rate—67% versus Esperanza’s 65% in school year 2024–25—but higher proficiency, at 18% in ELA and 30% in math.

Scores have edged up, but remain low: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA rose from 7% to 9% and math from 7% to 8%. SchoolDigger ranked Esperanza 599th of 626 schools, at the 4th percentile with 0 stars; its district ranked 373rd of 450, at the 17th percentile with 1 star. A notable exception is the English Language Learner Students ranking: SchoolDigger placed the school at the 29th percentile for this group, compared with the 4th percentile overall, suggesting a stronger relative standing. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 36% in 2021–22 to 21% in 2025–26, though it remained above the state’s 16%. In 2024–25, Esperanza’s student–teacher ratio was 16.2, slightly above the nearby-school average of 15.8.
