The Oklahoma City School System

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is both the state capital and the largest city with a population of about 643,000. The greater metropolitan area has an estimated population of about 1.3 million people. The Oklahoma City Public Schools district oversees nearly 100 schools serving about 46,000 students.

Living in such a large city, it can be overwhelming for parents who are unsure of where to look to find professional tutoring for their child. Varsity Tutors can help you connect with a highly qualified Oklahoma City tutor who can help your child reach their academic potential.

A professional tutor can work with your child to prepare for one of the state or national exams or simply help them solidify their understanding of a new concept.

In addition to nationally recognized exams such as the SAT and ACT which are given to students who are preparing for graduation, Oklahoma City students also must prepare for two separate types of assessments as part of the Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP). These exams are given to students in grades three through eight as well as grade eleven and include general assessments which cover math, science, history, and language arts at various stages. In the eleventh grade, students are also given the College and Career Readiness Assessment (CCRA). While part of this is either the SAT or ACT, there is the additional component of the Science Content Assessment which students in other parts of the country do not have to take.

Oklahoma City has some of the best schools in the state. Below you can see how the top schools in the city compare to schools throughout the state.

Not surprisingly, Oklahoma City high schools have fairly low class sizes. Few of the largest schools have class sizes that even reach twenty. You can see more details about the student-to-teacher ratios of the largest schools in the city in the chart below.

Oklahoma City Student-to-Teacher Ratios

Mustang High School has a 21 1 student-teacher ratio.

Yukon High School has a 20 1 student-teacher ratio.

Moore High School has a 19 1 student-teacher ratio.

Westmoore High School has a 20 1 student-teacher ratio.

Santa Fe High School has a 18 1 student-teacher ratio.

Oklahoma State Average has a 15 1 student-teacher ratio.

Even with relatively low classroom sizes, teachers are still unable to provide personalized instruction for individual students. However, an experienced tutor can take the time to get to know your child and identify their academic strengths and weaknesses as well as their personal interests to create a learning experience that is unique for their educational needs.

While the high schools in Oklahoma City are among the most highly ranked in the state, that doesn’t mean that graduating seniors have extensive options for higher education. There are only a handful of colleges in the area and none are ranked in the top 100 for the nation. However, many nearby universities have great academic programs that are worth investigating. The top schools in the Oklahoma City area can be seen in the chart below.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We reviewed the geometry homework and covered topics like number lines & coordinates, volume, and functions. I asked the students to do the unfinished problem from the geometry packet, to do the first practice test, and to do an online PSAT diagnostic test and SAT diagnostic for next time."

"This was my first tutoring session with this student, and she was very attentive. I went over a series of spelling words associated with 4th grade, and she missed a few. We did a read-aloud from a book she was reading and she went through math exercises really fast. Her writing could use a more organized structure and I want her to explain her answers orally as opposed to writing them down because there is a difference."

" Yesterday's session was one of the most productive ones we've had so far. The student was still having some difficulty adding and subtracting negative numbers. More than anything else, that was what was causing him to get problems wrong. We focused on arithmetic with negative numbers for a large part of the session. We used the number line to help visualize those arithmetic problems. He was able to see the main idea behind negative numbers, and he will have it mastered soon. Aside from negatives, he is mostly able to solve equations correctly. He solved some difficult absolute-value equations by himself near the end of our session."

"The student and I reviewed some of his homework. This was multiplying 2 digit numbers. I gave him reinforcement to keep his numbers organized and placing the 0 in the ones column when multiplying one factor by the tens column. Then we created a study guide for the properties of multiplication. He was able verbally explain the definitions and write them. He developed 3 out of 5 examples. Next, we discussed the order of operations, and he completed a few practice problems. I asked his grandmother to have him use the study guide and other topics for the unit test on Thursday."

"The student had gotten the results from her November test, which were mixed. We spent our time today working on analogies. It was tedious work, but she made progress at understanding relationships between words."

"Today we worked on centripetal force and circular motion. The student made a few mistakes when applying the formulas, but he understood them as we corrected them. His attitude was positive throughout the session. "

"We worked on Student 1's tests for reading and quantitative skills. We have also developed a method for working on math problems so that Student 2 feels confidence in getting things accomplished. His reading skills are strong. "

"The student took a verbal reasoning practice test and did awesome. She only missed 1 question and had 10 minutes left! Verbal reasoning is definitely her strength. We reviewed the essay she wrote that I left her with on Monday. The essay was well written. I suggested that she expand and elaborate a little more on her topics. She passed the reading comprehension part with a high score on Monday, so we did not review that today. The majority of our time was spent on Quantitative Reasoning and Math Achievement. These are definitely her weakest areas, but she has worked very hard throughout the time I've been working with her in learning the skills and concepts that she was not confident in performing. Overall, I really believe she will do well on her test tomorrow. She is an amazing and smart student."

"We worked on the quantitative category and went over the scoring sheet from the student's practice test for her essay. She is revising her essay to improve her introduction and conclusion, and we will work on them on Saturday."

"The student has an exam coming up next week. He and I went over an exam review worksheet that his teacher provided for the class. This test covers exponential and logarithmic functions and their properties, inverse functions, and exponential problems including exponential decay and interest accumulation over time. We were able to go over each of the topics and he did very well on this practice material. I only had a few problems in which he didn't know how to start, but we practiced a few of those and he seems comfortable with them now. He should be able to score very well on the exam based on his performance today, as long as he doesn't forget the relevant formulas that are crucial for those topics. "

"We reviewed the concepts for the student's test on Friday. Although she had a better understanding of the differences between solve and simplify, she was still struggling a bit with interpreting the questions and answering the questions appropriately. When we discussed the differences out loud, I then asked her to identify the errors/why I marked the problems wrong. She was able to pinpoint why she may have gotten it wrong. I tried a different exercise with her - error analysis problems. I believe that was good practice for her to be able to identify errors, so when she's checking her work she can identify easier. I'm considering trying a different exercise with her during our next session or assigning her homework we can review together so I can help her with the jargon and interpretation of math problems."
