Good schools that have decent diversity? (Tulsa, Owasso: best school, statistics, moving)

[jkathey]

Hi all, this is my first post.

I grew up in Owasso but moved away in 1990. My husband and I are now thinking about moving back to the Tulsa area. My main question is about the schools. We would like to find an excellent public school system that has a decent percentage of minority students. We adopted our youngest child from India and we would not consider sending her to a school where she is one of very few non-white students. Any suggestions regarding which schools in the immediate Tulsa area offer both a diverse faculty/student body and an excellent education?

Thanks!

Go to:

GreatSchools.net

and type in the school or city and a list will pop up. From there you can view all statistics about a school, its student population (including demographics) and staff. This is a very good website. Best of luck to you and your family!

Tulsa Booker T Washington Magnet High School was recently rated the 75th best school in the nation and is very mixed race.

Booker T Washington is an excellent public high school. I believe you have to test to go there. Also, you will find more diversity in some of the private schools like Holland Hall. It's a private prepatory school. quite expensive but I do know that about 70% of their students get some sort of scholarship money.
