check out this site. I haven't been to it for a while but it should give you school reports, crime rates and such. I found it very helpful when looking to move to South Carolina. it should let you compare both places side by side. good luck

Don't take this the wrong way, but why would you want to move to Okllahoma? You do know that it is part of tornado alley, you cannot prepare for a tornado, they come without almost any warning and destroy homes and kill thousands of people. You could not pay me enough money to live anywhere near tornado alley. Good Luck and build a big shelter.

Bixby. Def. The city is dirty and has a very high crime rate. Bixby is just south of Tulsa which is within minutes from south Tulsa, better area socioeconomically and better job opportunities. Bad thing about Bixby is it floods almost every time it rains. I would never buy a house there. You'd do better in SE Tulsa (in the Union School district-not Tulsa), Broken Arrow in Tulsa county, or Jenks (the best public school in the state). If you live in Tulsa county, your kids will get free college tuition in a new program called "Tulsa Achieves".

Edmond is nice and has great schools also in the Edmond area with good schools is Deer Creek. I know nothing about Tulsa so I cant help there, but you would be happy in Edmond for sure. A good place to look up schools on the net is www.greatschools.net A comment about the Tornado poster is that even though we do have Tornado's here in Oklahoma, we have plenty of warning when they come. SO he is incorrect in the fact that thousands of people die in them. Oklahoma is worth living in because it has a cheap cost of living and nice people. I just heard last week that Forbes Magazine named Oklahoma City the best place to live where the recession wont affect you either. :)
