How strong are the private K-12 schools in Tulsa?

With a fresh school year kicking off, we analyzed newly released data from Niche.com — which include comprehensive report cards, rankings and reviews — to identify those schools that made the biggest strides last year and those that lead their peers.

Mingo Valley Christian's overall rating improved among similar schools in Tulsa, rising from an A- to an A, according to data from Niche.

For the 2019-2020 school year, the school, located at 8304 S. 107th East Ave., enrolls 324 students. Niche graded the school an A for academics — on an A-D scale — and a B+ for clubs and activities.

The overall ranking comes from Niche's proprietary algorithms. A school's ranking might change due to many factors, including the relative rankings of similar schools and whether a school gained or lost peers due to openings or closings. Other numbers come from current public data from the U.S. government.

It's not the only school that's climbed Niche's rankings this year. Augustine Christian Academy also saw its overall rating increase from an A- to an A. The school is located at 6310 E. 30th St. and is a bit smaller, currently serving 181 students.

Peace Academy also improved, from A to A+. The school is located at 4620 S. Irvington Ave. and has 173 students currently enrolled.
