Summary:
The two elementary schools located in the 74126 zip code area, Tulsa Legacy Charter School Inc and John Hope Franklin Elementary School, serve a high-need student population, with over 96% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the schools have struggled academically, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Oklahoma elementary schools.
Tulsa Legacy Charter School Inc, a public charter school serving grades PK-8, has significantly lower academic proficiency rates compared to the state averages, particularly in Math. The school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 15.8, but spends less per student at $8,034 per year. In contrast, John Hope Franklin Elementary School, a traditional public elementary school serving grades PK-5, has a higher student-teacher ratio of 25.5 and spends more per student at $10,506 per year, yet still struggles academically with no specific proficiency data provided.
The data suggests that factors beyond just student demographics and funding levels may be contributing to the poor academic performance of these schools. Further investigation into the schools' instructional practices, curriculum, and other factors could provide valuable insights to help improve the educational outcomes for the students in this community. The consistent bottom-tier rankings of both schools within the state of Oklahoma indicate a need for significant improvement and support to better serve the students in this area.
