Booker T. Washington High School Reviews
Rating 4.26 out of 5 655 reviews
My experience at THE Booker T Washington High school is great so far! I was a part of the minority from my small middle school, but the community welcomed me, and they continue to do the same. My High School is the most diverse community I have been involved in. We accept people from any background, and we assemble to celebrate all cultures and/or religions. If a student wants to dive deeper into these experiences, we have walkouts/clubs (e.g. African American Society). We have come so far in diversity since 1913, especially considering that BTW was historically Black. Class offerings are as simple as “If you name it, we have it”. We offer AP classes for early birds. Something special about programs is that we are the only high school to offer the IB course in Oklahoma. We have school spirit for days, and we take Hornet pride seriously! Also, the food may not be the best, but the cafeteria staff are so kind and hardworking. We keep positive energy as the pride of the great southwest.
During my time at Booker T Washington High School, I believe it is an amazing school riddled with diversity and academic rigor. It has many pros such as the classes and the people that surround you. Although it is a great school it also has its cons such as the people while I said they are a pro they are more considered as a middle ground between the two.
Booker T was a great education, especially comparatively to the other high schools of Tulsa, and Oklahoma as a whole. The school suffers from the same ails as most public education, namely underfunding and understaffing -- regardless, it does exceptionally well with what it is given.
