School Arts/Sci (Charter)

The School Arts/Sci (Charter) district in Oklahoma includes two schools: Tulsa School Arts Sciences High School and Tulsa School Arts Sciences Middle School. The high school is a standout performer, ranking 36th out of 439 Oklahoma high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the middle school has a lower statewide ranking, placing 156th out of 228 middle schools with a 2-star rating.

The high school has consistently strong academic performance, with over 50% of students proficient in English Language Arts and U.S. History. However, the school struggles with lower proficiency in Mathematics (20%) and Science (35.9%), which could be an area for improvement. Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The high school spends $9,482 per student, while the middle school spends only $1,711 per student, a notable disparity that may impact the schools' resources and educational outcomes.

Overall, the School Arts/Sci (Charter) district appears to have a strong high school, but the middle school may be an area of focus for improvement. The significant differences in academic performance, spending, and student demographics between the two schools suggest the need for a closer examination of the district's resource allocation and strategies to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
