Welcome to Tulsa Hope Academy's New Website.
For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans for good and not to harm you, plans to give you
Hope and a Future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
Never have the statistics been more dire. Or the solutions so within reach. Recently, a report published in Education Week predicted that roughly 1.23 million students (nearly 30% of the entire year’s class) would fail to graduate with their peers. Dig deeper and you’ll discover that nationwide, only 58% of Hispanics, 55% of African-Americans and 51% of Native Americans are graduating on time.2 What’s worse, in some U.S. cities, barely 30% of kids are receiving their diplomas.
Without an all-important high school diploma, young people are twice as likely to be unemployed, seven times more likely to be on government assistance and three-and-a-half times more likely to get arrested.
And, as if statistics like that aren’t sobering enough from a humanitarian perspective, consider the economic impact: the combined income and tax losses from one year’s worth of 18-year-olds who don’t graduate — aggregated over their lifetime — is about $192 billion. That’s 1.6% of America’s gross domestic product.3 Clearly, when our children drop out, it’s a lose-lose situation. But there’s hope.
Tulsa Hope Academy exists to take a stand against the ‘silent epidemic’ – America’s educational crisis. We are founded on the belief that God has a plan and a purpose for everyone – “plans for “Hope and a Future” (Jeremiah 29:11). We invite you to take some time to look through our website to discover for yourself what a remarkable school Tulsa Hope Academy is and see why we might just be the solution for you and your student.
