Summary

Owen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a student population of 385. The school is part of the Tulsa school district, which is ranked 387 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Owen Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade, with its highest ranking being 384 out of 389 schools in 2023-2024.

Some key metrics that differentiate Owen Elementary include very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19% to 40% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the Tulsa district average of 19% and the state average. Additionally, Owen Elementary students perform poorly on state assessments, with only 13% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to 16% and 26% respectively at the district and state levels. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92% to 97% in recent years, indicating a very low-income student population.

The challenges facing Owen Elementary appear to be deeply rooted and shared by other nearby schools in the Tulsa district, such as Hamilton, Sequoyah, and Mitchell Elementary, which also perform poorly and have similar demographic profiles. This suggests that the issues affecting student outcomes at Owen Elementary are systemic within the district and may require comprehensive, district-wide interventions to address.
