BOWRING operates 1 public schools serving 56 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 52 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Osage County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,288 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 47.1% local, 30.2% state, and 22.7% 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 $102,966 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.
and 28.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.7% White, 7.7% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Bowring Public School accounts for 100.0% of all BOWRING student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means BOWRING-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.
BOWRING chronic absenteeism rate is 28.8% — 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 BOWRING is typically wider than the BOWRING-aggregate figure suggests.
