ADA operates 6 public schools serving 2,657 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 2 other, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,696 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Pontotoc County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,071 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 28.8% local, 50.1% state, and 21.1% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $59,008 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 43/100, ranked #151 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Ada Jhs accounts for 21.6% of all ADA student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means ADA-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
ADA student-counselor ratio is 265:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within ADA is typically wider than the ADA-aggregate figure suggests.
ADA chronic absenteeism rate is 18.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within ADA is typically wider than the ADA-aggregate figure suggests.
