Summary

MacArthur Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 387 students in grades PK-5 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is part of the Tulsa school district. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 602 out of 614 schools.

MacArthur Elementary faces significant challenges, with extremely low academic proficiency rates compared to the Tulsa and Oklahoma state averages. In 2024-2025, only 7% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 7% in Mathematics, compared to 16% and 13% for Tulsa, and 26% and 26% for the state. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 37-40% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, MacArthur Elementary ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Oklahoma schools for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups.

Despite spending $15,390 per student, which is higher than the nearby schools, MacArthur Elementary continues to underperform. For example, Henry Zarrow International School, just 1.6 miles away, has proficiency rates over 40% in both ELA and Math, more than 5 times higher than MacArthur. This suggests that the school's persistent low performance may be due to deeper, more systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed.
