Summary:
KIPP Tulsa Academy Charter has one listed high school, KIPP Tulsa High School University Prep, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 249 students, so families have no other high school in this list to compare it with. The clearest contrast in the available results is a strong graduation rate alongside low test proficiency: in 2024–25, 93% of students graduated, compared with 78% statewide, while 2025–26 proficiency was below state results in all four subjects. The most important finding is that graduation was substantially above the state rate, but academic proficiency remained below it in every tested subject.
The school’s strongest 2025–26 subject result was U.S. History: 32%, compared with 41% statewide, a 9-point gap. Mathematics was the weakest result and the largest gap: 2% proficient, versus 25% statewide, or 23 points lower. English Language Arts I was 18% versus 26%, and Science was 15% versus 30%. Across the four subjects, the school’s simple average was 17%, compared with 31% for the state. Another notable concern is chronic absenteeism: 42% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 16% statewide and 38% in the district.
Results improved in three subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose 6 points, Science 9 points, and U.S. History 5 points; Mathematics stayed at 2%. The school’s four-subject average increased 5 points, and its gap from the state average narrowed by about 6 points, though it remained behind in every subject. SchoolDigger ranked the school 414th of 462 in 2025–26, at the 10th percentile with one star; its earlier rankings were 444th of 463, at the 4th percentile with zero stars, in 2024–25, and 417th of 432, at the 3rd percentile with zero stars, in 2023–24. The student–teacher ratio was 16.3 in 2024–25, and 90% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch that year. These figures describe a single school and do not establish why its outcomes differ.
