I lived about three miles from there at one time and it is a good area; low crime, nice homes, etc.

Here is their website; they appear to be an excellent district with a rating of 9 out of 10.

They are at the following location in Broken Arrow and are 2 miles from Woodland Hills Mall and there are several hospitals (one major one in Saint Francis) within 2 miles of there as well. I think it's a very good location.

Union schools are very good. But the areas in the district include the 71st St. corridor that can be a huge hassle to navigate at all times, especially on Friday and Saturday nights as well as throughout the holidays. 71st from Garnett to about Yale is the main retail and restaurant area in this part of town. But the schools will be better than Tulsa Public Schools. Broken Arrow schools are also good.

Union Schools is the South & East endges of Tulsa as well as the north and west edges of Broken Arrow. It's a very heavy retail area and the school has some serious $$$. I believe they were the first HS in the state with a large concrete stadium with astroturf. The band regularly wins national competitions and the Union vs Jenks football game was televised on a national cable channel as well as made into a (limited release) movie. I believe Union won the state championship in football this year. As far as other things, they have a very large performing arts center which I believe is the second largest in the city, they have a very large basketball/multipurpose center as well as a track & field stadium separate from the football one.

Wow, they sound like a super-school; almost like a college. Thanks for the info sgrizzle.
