Summary
Felicitas Mendez International School is a Tulsa district elementary school serving pre-K through grade 5, with 329 students, in a group of nearby Tulsa elementary schools. The central takeaway is a mixed academic picture: science is a standout, while math remains a clear gap against district and state results.
In 2025–2026, the school had the highest nearby science proficiency at 30%, matching the state and exceeding the district’s 20% by 10 percentage points. Its science result was about 20 points above the nearby average of 11%. ELA proficiency was 20%, tied for the highest nearby result and above the nearby average of 9%; it was 3 points above the district’s 17% but 6 below the state’s 26%. Math was 12%, third among nearby schools and above the nearby average of 9%, but 3 points below the district’s 15% and 13 below the state’s 25%. Fifth grade is a relative bright spot: math proficiency was 15%, the highest nearby result and close to the district’s 16%. By contrast, math was 11% in grade 3 and 10% in grade 4, well below state and district results.
Results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose from 14% to 20%, math from 10% to 12%, and science from 5% to 30%. Chronic absenteeism also fell from 18.4% in 2021–2022 to 8.7% in 2025–2026, lower than the state, district, and every nearby school. SchoolDigger’s overall statewide ranking rose from the 8th percentile (562 of 614, 0 stars) to the 25th percentile (469 of 626, 1 star), the highest percentile among the nearby schools. Its English Language Learner Students ranking also improved, from the 8th percentile (78 of 85) in 2023–2024 to the 25th percentile (60 of 80, 1 star) in 2025–2026—a notable rise in SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves this group. Contextually, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 15, the lowest nearby, and 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 92%.
