Thomas Edison Preparatory High School

Summary:

Thomas Edison Preparatory High School is a public high school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving 1,089 students in grades 9-12. The school consistently ranks in the top 25% of Oklahoma high schools, with a current statewide ranking of 61 out of 431 schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thomas Edison Preparatory High School excels in certain areas, such as the performance of male and white students, who rank 37th and 22nd in the state, respectively. However, the school struggles with the academic achievement of African American students and English Language Learners. While the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are strong, with 52% of 11th-graders proficient or better, its math proficiency rates are relatively low at 19.4%. The school's graduation rates have fluctuated between 69.1% and 91.1% over the past few years, with the most recent rate being 80.1%.

Compared to nearby schools, Thomas Edison Preparatory High School outperforms schools like Will Rogers College High School, Daniel Webster High School, and Nathan Hale High School, but lags behind the highly-ranked Booker T. Washington High School, also in the Tulsa School District. The school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.21% to 64.83%, suggests it serves a population with a higher proportion of low-income families, which may contribute to some of the academic challenges observed.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
