Blair operates 2 public schools serving 199 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 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 180 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is geographically located in Jackson County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,866 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 22.8% local, 61.8% state, and 15.4% 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 $60,000 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 426.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 29.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 62.9% White, 24.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools.
Blair Es accounts for 65.0% of all Blair student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Blair-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.
Blair student-counselor ratio is 427:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Blair chronic absenteeism rate is 29.2% — 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 Blair is typically wider than the Blair-aggregate figure suggests.
