COMMERCE operates 3 public schools serving 883 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 837 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Ottawa County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,658 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 19.1% local, 50.0% state, and 30.9% 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 $57,186 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 39/100, ranked #202 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 306.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 17.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 35.4% White, 27.6% Hispanic or Latino, 1.5% African American across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means COMMERCE-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.
COMMERCE school enrollment varies 2.6× across entities
COMMERCE school enrollment ranges from 173 students (lowest) to 447 students (highest), a spread of 274 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.
COMMERCE student-counselor ratio is 307:1 — 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 COMMERCE is typically wider than the COMMERCE-aggregate figure suggests.
COMMERCE chronic absenteeism rate is 17.1% — 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 COMMERCE is typically wider than the COMMERCE-aggregate figure suggests.
COMMERCE has 3 schools, including 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 883 students.
