A genuinely committed principal. A very effective SAS program. The office staff are friendly and accommodating. It's not a big school which is a plus 'cuz it creates an atmosphere where everybody knows everybody even just by face hence parents get the sense of safety & security for their children. When you know that the faculty has been in this school for years, you get the sense that they know what they're doing thus concern for incompetence is not an issue, and "old school" is not the word for these cool, young at heart, well-experienced mentors of young minds. We can say that they have the best interest for your child when they really are standing up against bullying and they don't take sides 'cuz they really investigate, and the principal have zero tolerance to it. The bully gets warned, and nothing worse follows after an issue is brought up. Nobody gets vilified. Nobody is counted out and nobody gets preferential treatment. It's a really great school, and we think this school should get a 10 out of 10 and not the atrocious 6/10 it got which is a surprisingly a point lower rating than the school we transferred our child from. The teachers in this school do not practice partiality according to what each has in skin color unlike that other school which heavily favors a certain ethnic group just because most of the faculty are of the same ethnic group. The teachers here grades your child accordingly & accurately to their behavioral performance & academic achievement irregardless of skin color...And they're not plastic but truly authentic in their mentorship.

Principal is amazing. Teachers have been warm and dedicated to student success. One thing I would critique - advanced programs for above avg learners is non-existent. Lots of programs to help kids that are falling behind grade level, but nothing at all available to propel the higher achieving students to truly excel.

Tulsa continues to be a great community school. The requirements & tests LAUSD expects are ever changing, but Tulsa teachers & staff don't lose sight of the basic goals of teaching our kids well & helping make them well rounded students. Our children's teachers work very hard & we can see their academic, emotional & social growth. We're also Tulsa PTA members because with parent support our kids have fun trips, assemblies & family events. We will continue to support Tulsa because it's been a great 2nd home for our kids!

Good school with great teachers, unfortunately the front desk secretaries are extremely rude and unwelcoming.

Actually, the student has not been placed in a class specializing with his issues. The principal just moved him to another class. He screams and bullies, but too bad for the teacher and 20+ kids in the class.

My daughter went to this school for 1st and 2nd grade. This school is awesome! We moved and she ended up at Woodlake Community Charter..which by the way is Horrible. I wish she could still attend this school. Teachers are great, principal is great, great school!

My daughter just finished her first year of school at Tulsa. I couldn't have been happier! Her teacher expertly challenged, engaged, and made every day count to bolster her learning! After leaving Kindergarten she was reading above a first grade level, doing the tango, speaking a little french, and best of all, sad school was ending. Her teacher was very caring, fair and well organized. I am so thankful that my daughter was able to be a part of such a caring classroom and school environment.

This is my son's last year. He has been here since Kinder and we love this school. We have been involved with PTA and the school since the beginning. Now we have a new principal who is amazing. He is open minded and welcomes parents. It's refreshing! The teachers, staff and parents all work together. We have great children all around. I will miss this school.

They have great teachers who welcomed my daughter, who came in at the 4th grade, with open arms! My daughter was in the gifted program at her last school, but Tulsa has gifted Classrooms... the last school didnt offer that. The staff is very involved with the kids and parents, they genuinely care about their students.

The SAS program at Tulsa really exceeded my expectations and challenged my gifted child. His grades and his attitude both improved when we moved to Tulsa!

I love the atmosphere in the school. The teachers and staff are very helpful and always stay in contact with parents. I love that the SAS program starts from Kindergarten as Pre-SAS for children who are more advanced.

I love Tulsa because it is a true neighborhood school. The families of children who attend this school are involved in so many ways. They take the time to get to know the teachers and staff as well as each other. They give so much of their time and resources to help make this the great school that it is. Budget cuts have never stopped us, because our families and staff work hard to make up the difference.

What a difference a mile makes! My son moved from Haskell El to Tulsa El for the SAS program and the difference was like night and day. Not only was SAS a better fit for my gifted son (his grades shot up!), but the entire atmosphere was startlingly different. Example: at Haskell when I proposed we have kids paint murals on the buildings to brighten up the place, I was told that wasn't possible. Then I come to Tulsa, and see every building covered with colorful, student-created artwork. PTA is run by a large, cohesive and enthusiastic team of parents with a can-do attitude. Tulsa also recently won an award for its commitment to the arts. The 4th grade team of Turner and Tanger: outstanding in every way; super engaged, super intelligent teachers. I am ridiculously happy here, something I never thought possible based on my past experiences.
