Better than 13% of Oklahoma high schools

Summary

Memorial High School in Tulsa, OK, serves 1,005 students in grades 9-12 within the Tulsa district, and faces significant challenges as a high-poverty school where 81% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most critical issue at Memorial is an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 58.2%, which is nearly three times the state average and the second-highest among nearby schools. This directly impacts academic performance, with the school ranking in the bottom 13th percentile statewide. While test scores are low overall, Memorial shows a relative strength in English Language Arts (25% proficiency) compared to math (7%) and science (9%). The graduation rate of 68.3% is below the state average of 82.2%, but it has shown a positive trend, increasing from 58.8% over the past three years. Notably, the school has demonstrated strong progress for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, suggesting targeted programs are working for specific groups.

What makes Memorial's situation particularly striking are the comparisons to nearby schools. Just 2.5 miles away, Thomas Edison Preparatory High School achieves an 89.3% graduation rate and 26.8% chronic absenteeism, highlighting the disparity within the same district. Even more compelling is Dove Science Academy High School Tulsa, a charter school serving an even higher percentage of low-income students (88%) yet achieving a 96.7% graduation rate and just 1.2% chronic absenteeism. This proves that high poverty does not have to be a barrier to success, and suggests that school culture and instructional practices are the decisive factors. For parents, Memorial represents a school with significant challenges but also glimmers of hope in its improving graduation rate and effective programs for certain student populations.
