Edison Preparatory Ms, Tulsa OK - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Edison Preparatory Ms

Edison Preparatory MS is a public middle school in the Tulsa Public Schools district, serving grades six through eight. Located on East 41st Street in Tulsa, it operates as a traditional middle school within Oklahoma’s second-largest city. Tulsa itself has a diversified economy that once centered on oil and now includes aviation, finance, technology, and manufacturing, and the city is marked by its Art Deco architecture and position on the Arkansas River. Housing values in the school’s immediate area are near the middle of the state’s range, and rents hold roughly steady, making the neighborhood a typical urban setting for the region.

The student body is diverse but not dominated by any single racial or ethnic group. White students form the largest share, followed by students who identify with two or more races, Hispanic students, Black students, American Indian or Alaska Native students, Asian students, and a small number of Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students. The school enrolls a sizable total population for a middle school. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are identified as English learners was not available in the source material, so a fuller picture of socioeconomic and support needs is not possible from this data alone.

Academically, Edison Preparatory MS posts proficiency results that sit in a mixed territory. In math, proficiency rates across all three grade levels fall below the majority mark, with the seventh-grade cohort reaching a higher share than either sixth or eighth. In English language arts, the pattern is similar, with about one-third of students scoring proficient or above in each grade. Science, tested only in eighth grade, shows a comparable share meeting the bar. These figures come from Oklahoma’s state tests, and it is important to note that the cut scores for both math and ELA changed for the 2024-25 school year, which means performance trends from prior years cannot be reliably compared. The school’s overall proficiency index, which averages performance across all tested subjects and grades, places Edison in the top quartile when measured against other districts in Tulsa County. Relative to its county peers, the school holds a stronger position than many, even though the absolute percentage of students reaching proficiency remains modest. Parents may want to discuss with the school how it supports students who are not yet meeting grade-level benchmarks, especially since the district’s recent accreditation status and the state’s cut-score changes add layers of context.

As a middle school, Edison does not have a graduation rate, and data on chronic absenteeism was not provided. The school does not appear to be a charter or magnet, and no Title I status was reported. The range of programs offered, such as electives or specialized courses, was not detailed in the available information.

The surrounding district, Tulsa Public Schools, has been navigating several notable shifts. Voters recently approved a large bond package for facility upgrades, safety, technology, and transportation, which the district says will not raise property tax millage because it replaces expiring debt. At the same time, declining enrollment has led to the closure of two elementary schools, signaling ongoing adjustments to the district’s footprint. In a high-profile move, the state board of education lowered the district’s accreditation to “accredited with deficiencies” due to academic performance scores and library book policies. While the district remains operational, this status is a consideration for families weighing school quality across Tulsa. Edison operates within this larger district context, and its own performance relative to county districts offers one point of reference for families trying to understand where it stands.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
