District-Level NCES Analysis
Adair operates 3 public schools serving 1,041 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Mayes County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,758 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 540 Oklahoma districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oklahoma compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 36.2% local, 50.3% state, and 13.5% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 29/100, ranked #305 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 257:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 10.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 43.5% White, 7.8% Hispanic or Latino, 1.2% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Bernita Hughes Es, with a diversity index of 69.1/100.
Its largest campus is Bernita Hughes Es, enrolling 474 students (48% of the district's total enrollment).
Bernita Hughes Es accounts for 45.5% of all Adair student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Adair a distant remainder — means Adair-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Adair school enrollment varies 2.0× across entities
Adair school enrollment ranges from 233 students (lowest) to 474 students (highest), a spread of 241 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Adair student-counselor ratio is 257:1 — 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 Adair is typically wider than the Adair-aggregate figure suggests.
Adair chronic absenteeism rate is 10.7% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
