Summary

McKinley Elementary School serves 453 students in PK–5 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 2025–26, students’ proficiency rates were 13% in English Language Arts (ELA), 9% in math, and 12% in science. Those results were below the Tulsa district by 4, 6, and 8 percentage points, respectively, and below Oklahoma by 13, 16, and 18 points. The central concern for families is that proficiency remains low across all three subjects, especially math and science.

Compared with nearby schools, ELA is McKinley’s relative strength, while math and science lag. The nearby-school averages were 10% in ELA, 13% in math, and 16% in science, putting McKinley about 3 points above the average in ELA and 4 points below in each of the other subjects. Grade-level results reveal a sharper contrast: fifth-grade ELA was 26%, above the district’s 21% and near the state’s 28%; it was also 11 points above the nearby-school average of 15%. Fourth-grade math was just 6%, compared with 19% in the district, 33% statewide, and a nearby-school average of 16%.

Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose from 6% to 13%, math from 8% to 9%, and science from 3% to 12%, though all remain below state levels. SchoolDigger places McKinley at the 12th percentile statewide, rank 554 of 626, with one star, up from the 4th percentile the prior year. Its SchoolDigger measure of how well it serves English Language Learner students is notably stronger: the group ranks at the 40th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 12th percentile. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 16.5, close to the nearby average of 16.9; 92% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch that year, versus a nearby average of 89%. Chronic absenteeism fell from 32% to 22% in the latest year, close to the nearby average but still above the state’s 16%.
