Need a little help/info on school districts in the Tulsa area.

I'm interested in any comments on the Glenpool schools as well if anyone has any thoughts.

I hope that Bixby has changed from 1995-2000, we moved there in 1995 from Mounds schools and regretted every moment; there was no law and order and the Hispanic female gangs ruled the place.

I made it through Tulsa Public. that's about all I can say

I did pretty well for myself but it was because of my own fortitude, my parents, and a few very good teachers. Not the system. But there are a couple good schools there, namely Edison but particularly Washington (this is NOT south though).

I would say Jenks, Bixby, Sapulpa are all good. Union and BA are a bit large for me personally.

There are great schools in the Tulsa metro area.

They are all private and mostly Catholic.

That's true there is always metro or summit Christian academy if private is the way you want to go

I moved out of Tulsa in part to get my daughter out of Tulsa Public Schools. There are some good schools in Tulsa, but you have to really do your homework and then hope you can get a transfer into the school you want. We had a great experience with elementary school, was hit and miss in Jr. High. I went to "preview" nights at a couple and after speaking with some of the teachers, I was shocked that they were allowed to be teachers.

I very much encourage being an active parent and go talk to the teachers on a regular basis...There are some good teachers in Tulsa, but also a lot of bad...

We've had two graduate from Sapulpa ('08 & '10).
We transferred our 12 year old this past fall from TPS Remington ( west side)
to Sapulpa.
He struggled a little at first, but has settled in now.
I think the Sapulpa curriculum is more advanced than TPS.
Teachers and staff at Sapulpa Middle School are great!!!

Thanks for the input guys.
I'll pass it on to her and hopefully they can land somewhere good.

Let me guess...Amish with a touch of ebonics, right??

What part of town will they be working in?

For example if they are working downtown, then Jenks is a good location because you can easily catch 75 North and take it into downtown. If they will be working closer to the heart of the city sprawl than Union makes more sense. You have access to 169 from there, and that will connect you to the BA and 44 to get around town.
