Summary:
The 73109 zip code area of Oklahoma City is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Oklahoma City school district, except for one public charter school, Santa Fe South Spero Elementary.
The standout school in this set appears to be Santa Fe South Spero Elementary, a charter school that consistently outperforms the other schools and the district/state averages on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates. For example, in 2024-2025, 34% of Santa Fe South Spero students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 15% for the Oklahoma City district and 26% for the state. In math, an impressive 63% of Santa Fe South Spero students were proficient or better, versus 12% for the district and 26% for the state. The school also has a higher 4-year graduation rate and lower chronic absenteeism than the other schools in the area.
In contrast, the traditional public schools in the 73109 zip code area are struggling, with very low test proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and below-average graduation rates. For instance, at Capitol Hill High School in 2024-2025, only 13% of 11th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 19% for the Oklahoma City district and 37% for the state. In math, the proficiency rate was just 3% for 11th graders at Capitol Hill, versus 7% for the district and 18% for the state. Despite the low performance, per-student spending at these schools is relatively high, ranging from $6,007 to $9,833, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution.
