The funding mix is 42.6% local, 41.9% state, and 15.5% 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 $46,182 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 12/100, ranked #433 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means BROKEN ARROW-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
