Summary

Tinker Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving 378 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Midwest City-Del City school district, which is ranked 359 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tinker Elementary consistently outperforms the Midwest City-Del City district and the state of Oklahoma in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 26% of Tinker students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 18% for the district and 26% for the state. In mathematics, Tinker had 29% proficiency, while the district had 14% and the state had 26%. However, the school has faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19% to 31.8% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

Tinker Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 45th out of 498 schools in 2015-2016 (5-star rating) to 526th out of 646 schools in 2020-2021 (1-star rating). This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance, and addressing attendance issues could be a key priority. Tinker generally outperforms nearby schools in the Midwest City-Del City district, such as Country Estates, Soldier Creek, Del City, and Midwest City Elementary, but still lags behind the higher-performing Sooner Elementary School in the Moore school district.

Zero structure or discipline compared to other (better rated) schools in the local area. If you've moved in this area, I highly suggest you seek to enroll your child out of district. My child (who liked school previously) immediately started to dislike school, complained of how loud it was, the teachers wouldn't correct other children. Close Quote
