District-Level NCES Analysis
Bokoshe operates 2 public schools serving 147 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high 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 Le Flore County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,898 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 54 of 540 Oklahoma districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oklahoma compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 22.4% local, 37.9% state, and 39.8% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one.
a 168.6:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 23.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 45.3% White, 6.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Bokoshe Es, enrolling 91 students (67% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses fell 8.2% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (147 to 135 students), and the student-teacher ratio widened by 1.9 students per teacher despite the decline, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $2,787,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 51.1% went to instruction, 41.6% to support services, and 0.3% to capital outlay, support-services-heavy relative to typical districts, reflecting spending on transportation, administration, or student services. Figures come from the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey's function-level breakdown, not the aggregate per-pupil figure above.
Bokoshe Es accounts for 61.9% of all Bokoshe student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Bokoshe a distant remainder — means Bokoshe-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. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Bokoshe student-counselor ratio is 169:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Bokoshe chronic absenteeism rate is 23.8% — 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 Bokoshe is typically wider than the Bokoshe-aggregate figure suggests.
