District-Level NCES Analysis
Clinton operates 5 public schools serving 2,080 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 combined, 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 Custer County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,826 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 540 Oklahoma districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oklahoma compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 25.8% local, 51.1% state, and 23.1% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 50/100, ranked #79 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (11 AP courses district-wide), a 324.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 21.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.3% Hispanic or Latino, 26.3% White, 2.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Clinton Hs, with a diversity index of 63.2/100.
Its largest campus is Clinton Hs, enrolling 609 students (30% of the district's total enrollment).
Clinton Hs accounts for 29.3% of all Clinton student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Clinton-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.
Clinton school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Clinton school enrollment ranges from 286 students (lowest) to 609 students (highest), a spread of 323 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.
Clinton student-counselor ratio is 325:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Clinton is typically wider than the Clinton-aggregate figure suggests.
Clinton chronic absenteeism rate is 21.8% — 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 Clinton is typically wider than the Clinton-aggregate figure suggests.
Clinton has 5 schools, including 1 high, 2 elementary, 1 combined, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 2,080 students.
