District-Level NCES Analysis
Bethany operates 4 public schools serving 1,747 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 Oklahoma County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,035 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 19.1% local, 72.1% state, and 8.8% 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 #301 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (9 AP courses district-wide), a 300.4:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 13.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.0% White, 21.1% Hispanic or Latino, 7.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Children's Ctr, with a diversity index of 63.1/100.
Its largest campus is Earl Harris Es, enrolling 769 students (44% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Children's Ctr, at 54 students, a 14x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Earl Harris Es accounts for 43.6% of all Bethany student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Bethany-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Bethany school enrollment varies 14× across entities
Bethany school enrollment ranges from 54 students (lowest) to 769 students (highest), a spread of 715 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Bethany student-counselor ratio is 300:1 — 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 Bethany is typically wider than the Bethany-aggregate figure suggests.
Bethany chronic absenteeism rate is 13.1% — 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.
