Summary

Nathan Hale Middle School is a public school in Tulsa, OK, serving 782 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Tulsa school district, and it faces significant challenges with very low academic proficiency and high chronic absenteeism.

The school's test scores are critically low, with only 3% of students proficient in English Language Arts, 2% in Math, and 9% in Science—far below both district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern, affecting 54.9% of students, which is nearly three times the state average. While this rate has improved from 63% the previous year, it remains a severe barrier to learning. The student-to-teacher ratio of 22.1:1 is also notably high, meaning larger class sizes and less individualized attention compared to nearby schools like Thoreau Demonstration Academy (17.3:1) and Will Rogers College Middle School (16:1).

Interestingly, Tulsa Honor Flores Middle School is located less than a mile away and serves a similar student population, yet achieves dramatically better results—with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 15% and significantly higher proficiency in Math (12%) and English (12%). This stark contrast suggests that school culture and attendance initiatives can make a powerful difference. While Nathan Hale’s overall performance is very low, its 8th-grade Science score of 9% is the school's highest subject score, and the school shows a relative strength with African American students, ranking in the 29th percentile statewide. For comparison, Edison Preparatory Middle School, just 3.26 miles away, ranks in the 81st percentile with 36% ELA proficiency and a 23.8% absenteeism rate, highlighting the wide range of outcomes within the same district.
