How many students attend Tulsa?

Tulsa reported 33,617 students in 69 schools in the NCES Common Core of Data for 2025-2026.

How much does Tulsa spend per student?

In the 2023-24 school year, Tulsa spent $12,703 per student on current operations, compared with an Oklahoma average of $12,202.

What does per-pupil spending include?

It is current spending for elementary and secondary education divided by fall enrollment, as published by the Census Bureau. It includes instruction, support services such as transportation and administration, and other day-to-day costs. It leaves out capital outlay for buildings and interest on debt.

Why do some districts have no spending or poverty figures?

Charter districts, education service agencies and other special agencies often do not report finance data separately, and Census SAIPE estimates child poverty only for geographic school districts. Values are also hidden for districts with fewer than 50 students, where a per-pupil figure can swing widely.
