Summary:
The 74115 zip code area of Tulsa, Oklahoma is home to 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve predominantly economically disadvantaged and minority student populations, with very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and predominantly Hispanic student bodies.
While some schools stand out, such as Owen Elementary School with the lowest student-teacher ratio and Hamilton Elementary School with the highest spending per student, the overall performance of these schools is concerning. Most have very low statewide rankings, with Tulsa Met High School ranking in the bottom 5% of Oklahoma high schools and displaying extremely low proficiency rates on state assessments.
The stark differences in student-teacher ratios across the schools, ranging from 11.8 to 35.3, may be a contributing factor to the performance disparities. Additionally, the high spending per student at some schools does not appear to be translating into better outcomes for students. Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the drivers of the schools' challenges and identify potential areas for improvement, such as teacher quality, curriculum, funding sources, and community engagement.
