District-Level NCES Analysis
Calera operates 2 public schools serving 847 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 Bryan County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,895 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 29.6% local, 48.4% state, and 22.1% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 28/100, ranked #315 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.
a 490.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 12.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 46.3% White, 6.8% Hispanic or Latino, 1.4% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Calera Es, enrolling 754 students (77% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Calera Hs, at 227 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Calera Es accounts for 76.9% of all Calera student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Calera a distant remainder — means Calera-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Calera student-counselor ratio is 491:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Calera chronic absenteeism rate is 12.8% — 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.
