Salk Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

473^rd

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 626 Oklahoma Elementary Schools

Better than 24% of Oklahoma elementary schools

Summary

Salk Elementary School serves 465 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were below Oklahoma’s in English Language Arts, math, and science; the most important concern is that only 16% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 10 percentage points below the state rate.

Salk was stronger in math and science than the Tulsa district, but remained below the state in both subjects. Math proficiency was 22%, compared with 15% in the district and 25% statewide; science was 26%, versus 20% and 30%. English Language Arts was close to the district rate—16% at Salk and 17% in Tulsa. Compared with nearby schools, however, Salk was below the peer averages in all three subjects: 16% versus 21% in English Language Arts, 22% versus 26% in math, and 26% versus 29% in science. Fourth-grade English Language Arts stands out as a particular weakness: 6% were proficient, compared with 16% in third grade and 24% in fifth grade, and only one nearby school scored lower.

Scores rose from 2024–25 to 2025–26, especially in science, which increased from 12% to 26%; math rose from 18% to 22%, and English Language Arts from 14% to 16%. SchoolDigger ranks Salk 473rd of 626 Oklahoma elementary schools, at the 24th percentile with 1 star, up from the 16th percentile the previous year. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.3, the lowest among the ten nearby schools compared. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 91% in 2024–25, third-highest among those nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings show stronger relative standing for English Language Learner Students (44th percentile) and Low Socio Economic Status Students (36th) than for Salk overall; the latter group’s percentile rose from 17 in 2023–24 to 36 in 2025–26.

My son goes to Salk he is 5 yrs. old in Mrs. Wenzels class. He loves to go to school every day and has excelled in many ways. First he knows the entire alphabet in sigh language, Second he can sound out words when he try's to read and also when he is trying to Wright. I fell my son is receiving a wonderful education. I also enjoy the new principle I see her every time I enter the school she is always doing something to improve the standards of education at Salk.
