Summary:

Dove Science Academy Tulsa is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with 466 students. The school is part of the Dove Schools of Tulsa charter district, which is ranked 173 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Dove Science Academy Tulsa has struggled compared to the state and its charter district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics ranged from 28% to 49% across different grade levels, which is generally lower than the Dove Schools of Tulsa district and the state of Oklahoma. The school's performance in English Language Arts has also been below average, with proficiency rates ranging from 10% to 24% in 2020-2021. The school serves a high-needs student population, with 84.76% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby public elementary schools in the Tulsa district, such as MacArthur, Lewis and Clark, Peary, Kerr, Owen, Hamilton, Lindbergh, Mitchell, Bell, and McKinley, all have similar low academic performance and high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the challenges faced by Dove Science Academy Tulsa are not unique and are likely reflective of the broader educational landscape in the area.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
