District-Level NCES Analysis
Chisholm operates 3 public schools serving 1,118 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Garfield County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,397 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 54.4% local, 35.9% state, and 9.7% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 17/100, ranked #418 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 365:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 14.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 73.4% White, 11.4% Hispanic or Latino, 1.3% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Chisholm Es, with a diversity index of 46.5/100.
Its largest campus is Chisholm Es, enrolling 528 students (48% of the district's total enrollment).
Chisholm Es accounts for 47.2% of all Chisholm student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Chisholm a distant remainder — means Chisholm-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.
Chisholm school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Chisholm school enrollment ranges from 247 students (lowest) to 528 students (highest), a spread of 281 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Chisholm student-counselor ratio is 365:1 — 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.
Chisholm chronic absenteeism rate is 14.7% — 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.
