TRAICE MIDDLE SCHOOL

TRAICE MS is a Title I public middle school that is part of the TULSA school district, located in Tulsa, OK with about 79 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 15 teachers, TRAICE MS has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

**TRAICE Middle School**, located at 2740 East 41st Street North in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a specialized educational facility within the Tulsa Public Schools district. The name "TRAICE" serves as an acronym for the school's core philosophy: **T**eaching, **R**estoration, **A**cademics, **I**nspiration, **C**ommunity, and **E**ngagement. Unlike traditional middle schools, TRAICE is designed as an alternative learning environment that prioritizes the social-emotional well-being of its students alongside their academic progress.

The school is specifically structured to support students who may benefit from a more personalized, non-traditional approach to middle school education. By focusing on restorative practices and individualized attention, TRAICE aims to help students overcome barriers to learning, improve behavioral outcomes, and re-engage with their academic goals. The school works closely with families and the surrounding Tulsa community to provide a supportive atmosphere that fosters both character development and the necessary skills for students to successfully transition back to their home schools or move forward to high school.
