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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
