Summary

Hawthorne Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with 353 students. The school is part of the Tulsa school district, which is ranked 387 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hawthorne Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 612 out of 614 schools.

Hawthorne Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely low academic achievement compared to state and district averages. In 2024-2025, only 4% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 2% were proficient in Math, compared to 26% and 26% statewide, respectively. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 39-44% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 97.45% of Hawthorne students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high-poverty student population.

Despite spending more per student than nearby schools like Celia Clinton Elementary School and Emerson Elementary School, Hawthorne has not been able to translate this additional funding into better educational outcomes. This suggests the need for a more strategic and targeted approach to resource allocation and utilization. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors, such as high poverty and chronic absenteeism, may be crucial for improving student learning at Hawthorne Elementary.
