Summary

Key Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving 309 students in Tulsa. In 2025–26, its proficiency was 8% in English language arts (ELA), 12% in math and 18% in science—below both state and district rates in all three subjects. The most important concern is that Key’s results are low across subjects, with ELA furthest behind the state and district.

Science is Key’s strongest subject compared with the state, district and nearby PK–5 schools, while ELA is its weakest against the state and district. The state scored 26% in ELA, 25% in math and 30% in science; the district scored 17%, 15% and 20%. Key’s gaps from the state were 18 points in ELA, 13 in math and 12 in science; its gaps from the district were 9, 3 and 2 points. Nearby PK–5 schools averaged about 26% in ELA, 30% in math and 32% in science, leaving Key 18, 18 and 14 points below those averages. Key tied with McClure Elementary School for the lowest nearby ELA score and was second-lowest in math and science. Fourth grade stands out as a particular weak spot: Key scored 3% in both ELA and math, the lowest among nearby schools in each subject.

Results are changing unevenly: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, science rose 11 points to 18%, ELA fell 3 points to 8%, and math stayed at 12%. Chronic absenteeism also improved, dropping 20 points from 42% in 2021–22 to 23% in 2025–26, though it remained above the state’s 16%. SchoolDigger ranked Key at the 9th percentile statewide with 0 stars in 2025–26, down from the 18th percentile and 1 star the prior year. Its statewide ranking for “Low Socio Economic Status Students”—a measure of how well the school serves that group—fell from the 25th percentile in 2024–25 to the 11th in 2025–26. Key’s 15.8 student-teacher ratio is close to the nearby-school average of 16.0; 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, a contextual measure that does not explain test results.
