Summary:
The 74128 zip code area of Tulsa, Oklahoma is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Tulsa school district. While the schools face significant academic challenges, with low proficiency rates and graduation levels, especially at the high school level, there are also some bright spots worth highlighting.
Lewis and Clark Elementary School stands out for having the highest 3rd grade math proficiency rate at 21%, exceeding both the Tulsa district and Oklahoma state averages. In contrast, East Central High School struggles, with very low 11th grade proficiency rates in English (15.3%) and Math (3.9%), as well as a 4-year graduation rate of 80.1% that falls below the state average. The elementary schools generally have lower student-teacher ratios, which could be beneficial for providing more individualized attention.
Across the schools, there are very high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.65% to 95.9%, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the student populations. Per-student spending also varies, from $8,259 at East Central High School to $10,685 at Lewis and Clark Elementary, which may contribute to the performance gaps. Targeted interventions, equitable funding, and a focus on replicating bright spots could be important strategies to improve outcomes for these high-need students.
