Whitman Elementary - Tulsa Public Schools

Explanation of Tables and Their Use
Six tables have been constructed for each content or subject area assessed. The state of
Oklahoma increased its levels of rigor in the OSTP beginning with the 2009 assessment year. In
many situations students and schools within TPS meet or exceed the increased state expectations
as demonstrated by median OPI scores greater than the median OPI scores achieved by the same
reporting group in Oklahoma.
Each of the tables are presented and discussed and followed by discussion starter questions in a
bulleted format. Readers are encouraged to view the information presented as only a part of the
data set which schools/district must use to review progress. This data presentation is part of the
story it is not the entire story
