How Lanier Es compares with Oklahoma and U.S. medians
What stands out at Lanier Es
Teacher staffing is the clearest operational constraint
Lanier Es's enrollment sits away from the most extreme size bands, but its reported student-teacher ratio is heavier than most Oklahoma schools. That isolates staffing load as a more useful concern than raw campus size. A high ratio does not establish weak teaching or outcomes, yet it can indicate less adult capacity per enrolled student. The remaining federal indicators show whether support staffing and program access offset that pressure.
A combined-grade campus has a different support burden
Lanier Es serves a combined grade span rather than a conventional elementary, middle, or high-school band. That structure can require the same campus to cover transitions, counseling needs, and programs for students at substantially different developmental stages, so a single staffing ratio deserves more caution than it would at a narrower-grade school. Federal totals show the available people and programs, but not how those resources are divided among grade levels.
Lanier Es is a mid-sized combined-grade school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, enrolling 322 students.
Class loads run heavy: 20.1:1 is larger than about 89% of Oklahoma schools and 25% above the 16.1:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
With 322 students, its enrollment sits close to the Oklahoma median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 1,778 scored Oklahoma schools.
Its student body is led by White (37%) and Two or More (22%) (diversity index 75/100).
Counselor coverage runs a bit thin, about 322 students per counselor, somewhat past the ASCA-recommended 250:1 benchmark.
Attendance runs somewhat below the norm, with 21.1% of students chronically absent per the 2021-22 civil-rights collection.
Its district draws 27.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Tulsa's public schools, it stands alongside Ellen Ochoa Es (968 students): Lanier Es is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (20.1:1 vs 16.4:1).
Tulsa also operates Booker T. Washington Hs (1,302 students) and East Central Hs (1,160 students) alongside Lanier Es.
