Will Rogers High School was designed by two very important architects, Leon B. Senter and Joseph…read moreKoeberling Jr. It was built in 1939 and Joseph Koeberling in an interview in his old age said people should leave the purse strings loose and create something of beauty with a building such as this. In the last couple of years they have put in new windows and restored Will Rogers High School as a gem in the Tulsa Art Deco tiara! It is famous art deco and is in all the art deco books! It is on the National Register. As far as the education part of Rogers, it provided a much better education when it was built because the parents knew the value of their children becoming educated. That is no longer the way parents of current students view education.....mini soap box! BTW, with additions, they maintained the same Art Deco style. Yay! The Tulsa Public School gives intermittent tours of this school.

This will be a short review. Rogers is one of the top high schools in Tulsa, at least it has one of…read morethe best sports programs. When I would drive by it on my way to someplace else I would drive by their HUGE FOOTBALL STADIUM. You would be blown away at the size of this thing, it must fit 5,000 people. You have to remember that high-school football is king in the Midwest. Think about the movie "Radio," and you will get it. Like the pros anywhere else.

The Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) is a national network of free, open-enrollment,…read morecollege-preparatory, public charter schools in underserved communities across the US. I first got involved with them in Houston, where it was founded back in 1994. When I moved to Tulsa and was looking for opportunities to get more involved in the community, I was thrilled to find KIPP here. Their mission is to create a classroom that helps children develop the knowledge, skills, character, and habits necessary to succeed in college and build a better tomorrow for their communities. KIPP Tulsa College Preparatory opened in 2005 and is located in north Tulsa. The program now serves more than 320 students in the 5th through 8th grade. The average 5th grader enrolls at KIPP Tulsa 2 to 3 grade levels behind in math and reading. It is their mission not only to catch its students up to grade level but to prepare them for success in high school and college as well. Teachers customize curriculum that focuses on the necessary remediation and higher order thinking processes. This ensures that all students are challenged to reach their full intellectual potential, and that every student is equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in college and in life.

They operate with the belief that all students, regardless of background or income, can achieve at a high level. Through strong academics and a focus on character, their students achieve excellence. THA opened in August 2015 and with 92 scholars. They currently serve 5th through 9th graders and will keep expanding one grade each year. It is free to attend. The majority of the students are Latino as their vision is to serve the East Tulsa community. The academic results are amazing and they have been nationally recognized with awards. Most recently, THA was one of the few middle schools to receive an "A" state report card.

I was told by Miss Scallet (Unsure about the spelling, but I know she was my 5th grade math…read moreteacher) back in the early 2000's too not apply to Cascia Hall because "I would not get in" and this was told to my 5th grade self, even though I got accepted weeks later. I am now graduated from an amazing college, with a great GPA, no thanks too this school. I would have given it a better review otherwise, but I was also bullied terribly due to their different policies, and VERY unhappy as a student.

My children both go here and I have been very pleased so far. Faculty are very knowledgeable and…read moreengaging. Academics are solid with a great mixture of modern teaching including Chromebooks, interactive, and minimester concentration on well-rounded events and life skills. Sports are easy to participate in and extracurricular activities are plentiful. Students wear full dress - blazers and ties for boys - during the majority of the year. As with any high school, teenage issues are present but my children have not a complaint about their teachers nor their fellow classmates being extraordinary in personality nor perspective. I recommend this school.

As a current student I have had nothing but a positive experience at this school. Coming from a…read morepublic school into Cascia, which is unlike most of the student body who come usually from Monte Cassino, the smaller class sizes embodies a much more familial experience in comparison to public schools. Not only is it possible to become closer to your classmates, but you become closer to your teachers and much more comfortable to ask for help. Of course, Cascia is known very well for the academics provided here. The academic life at Cascia is no small feat and to be taken very seriously. Despite the difficulty of the academics, we students are not alone and have teachers as well as each other to ask for help and advice. If you are considering going here or you are a parent considering for you're child to go here, be prepared for long nights of homework as this is what going to a College Preparatory school entails. In enduring the classes here, you develop study tools that will be necessary in college. Many students who are not given the same academic experience received at Cascia, are not as prepared for college when the time comes. As well as the academic reputation Cascia is known for, we have an athletic one, too. Dependent upon the sport, Cascia is a 4a/5a school with as vast array of sports for one to "get involved" in, as our coaches so often tell us. Though not a large school, Cascia more than compensates with talent and immensely supportive coaching from the coaching staff. Not only are our coaches supportive of us on the field/court/track/green/etc, but off the field too, seeing as most of our coaches double as teachers as well. We develop close bonds with our coaches that many at a large school do not have the opportunity to develop. And as to be expected from a Catholic school, the religious aspects of Cascia are interwoven throughout our entire high school experience. Four of five mornings out of the week, upper school students attend chapel just before school starts, for announcers, birthday acknowledgments, and prayer. We also pray in school at the beginning and end of everyday (some teachers also pray before class), we embody the Augustinian values of Truth, Unity, and Love, and every student, as a senior, is given the amazing opportunity to attend Kairos. However, it does not matter what religion you are or what beliefs you posses, they WILL BE ACCEPTED AND APPRECIATED at Cascia Hall. Many believe one must be of a Christian faith to belong at our campus, but that is just not true. There is a very wide variety of religions at Cascia and, as I said, each and every one are respected and even encouraged, as Cascia Hall wants us students to grow in whichever belief we have. Naturally, as with any high school experience, there will be ups and downs. However, at Cascia Hall, I can guarantee that someone will be there to cheer you on in the good times and help carry you in the bad.

In one word "RUN". As the parent of an A A student before Anderson, I can't express it any…read morestronger, "RUN". Anderson is the worst school my child has attended ever. I am working to get an investigation started in an attempt to show a major problem students are now facing there. My son was rejected entry into a middle school based on his grades, AA. Wait, his grades were not reported as AA, just yesterday he brought home a progress report with 4 Fs and a C. OMG! was my first response but because it was not the first time nor the second time that we have dealt with this I ask my son to bring me the test that brought his grades down. We keep everything for this reason, needless to say, all grades were 100s translating into a grade of A. If I were a parent that just signed and for got, my son would be in trouble. After calling around and speaking to other parents, I found that my son was not the only child dealing with this problem and it is on going. One parent cried as she explained her desire to remove her child from the school, it's how things are. So again, if you want one word to explain the school, "RUN". If you want better for your child, Anderson is not where you want them...
