Summary

Peary Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 268 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. Peary Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking of 457 out of 614 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and a 1-star rating.

Peary Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with only 15% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 20% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 39.3% of students chronically absent, significantly higher than the state average of 19.0%. Additionally, Peary Elementary serves a high-poverty student population, with 95.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to the state average of around 60%.

While Peary Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3, its performance lags behind nearby schools in the Tulsa district, such as Ellen Ochoa Elementary School, Skelly Elementary School, and Cooper Elementary School, which also serve high-poverty student populations but have slightly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the challenges faced by Peary Elementary will require a comprehensive approach to support the unique needs of its students and community.
