District-Level NCES Analysis
Cordell operates 3 public schools serving 599 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 Washita County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,778 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 district's equity score is 44/100, ranked #160 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 288.7:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 22.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Cordell Es accounts for 59.2% of all Cordell student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Cordell a distant remainder — means Cordell-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Cordell school enrollment varies 4.3× across entities
Cordell school enrollment ranges from 84 students (lowest) to 364 students (highest), a spread of 280 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.
Cordell student-counselor ratio is 289:1 — 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 Cordell is typically wider than the Cordell-aggregate figure suggests.
Cordell chronic absenteeism rate is 22.0% — 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 Cordell is typically wider than the Cordell-aggregate figure suggests.
