Santa Fe South Spero ES

Santa Fe South Spero ES is a charter elementary school in Oklahoma City serving 473 students in grades PK through 5. With a student-teacher ratio of 16.3:1, classes stay manageable — giving teachers real bandwidth to work with individual students across a full span of early grades. The school earns a composite score of 9.1/10 and carries an "Exceptional" label, driven by academic and growth scores of 9.6 and 9.7 respectively.

Those numbers translate into a standing that's hard to ignore: Spero ranks #1 of 137 public schools in Oklahoma City and sits at #11 among 915 elementary schools statewide. Taken together, the school outperforms 99% of Oklahoma public schools — a performance tier shared by very few schools, charter or district, anywhere in the state. Growth is where the data gets especially compelling.

A 9.7/10 growth score signals that students are gaining ground relative to academic peers year over year, not just performing well on a single snapshot. For parents evaluating whether a school will actively move their child forward — rather than coast on an already strong student body — that growth figure carries real weight. Spero sits at #18 of 1,747 public schools in Oklahoma, making it one of the most consistent academic performers in the state.

Santa Fe South Spero ES is a charter school — a publicly funded school that operates with more autonomy than traditional district schools. Charter schools often have distinct educational models or specialties. Parents should understand the school's specific mission, enrollment process, and how its approach differs from nearby district options.
