Summary:
ZIP code 74106 has seven schools serving elementary, middle and high school grades, with 3,521 students enrolled. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was 21% in ELA, 14% in math and 22% in science, compared with state results of 26%, 25% and 30%. The most important finding is the sharp divide between strong results at the high school and one middle school and much weaker results across the elementary schools.
Booker T. Washington High School stands out most: it exceeded state results by 38 points in ELA, 9 in math, 12 in science and 24 in U.S. History. Carver Middle School led the other middle school, KIPP Tulsa Middle School College Prep, by 26 points in ELA, 23 in math and 18 in science; Carver was above state results in all three subjects, while KIPP was below. Among elementary schools, Emerson Elementary School led in ELA and science, with 20% and 26% proficient, while Burroughs Elementary School led in math at 12%. Hawthorne Elementary School was lowest in elementary ELA and math, at 3% and 2%; its science result was 7%, while Burroughs and Whitman Elementary School each scored 6%.
Elementary results improved overall from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, especially in science, where the average rose by 5 points, but all four elementary schools remained below state results in every subject. SchoolDigger ranked Booker T. Washington 9th of 462 statewide, with five stars, and Carver 58th of 378, with four stars; Emerson had one star, while Hawthorne, Burroughs and Whitman ranked in the bottom seven of 626 elementary schools. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measure ranged from 49.5% at Booker T. Washington to 96.0% at Burroughs, and student-teacher ratios ranged from 15.1 at KIPP to 26.7 at Hawthorne. These figures describe school context, but do not show what caused differences in results.
