District-Level NCES Analysis
Covington-Douglas operates 2 public schools serving 248 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 Garfield County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,385 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 77.2% local, 13.6% state, and 9.1% 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 43/100, ranked #177 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 491.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 20.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 70.0% White, 11.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Covington-Douglas Es, enrolling 146 students (64% of the district's total enrollment).
Covington-Douglas Es accounts for 58.9% of all Covington-Douglas student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Covington-Douglas a distant remainder — means Covington-Douglas-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.
Covington-Douglas 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.
Covington-Douglas chronic absenteeism rate is 20.2% — 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 Covington-Douglas is typically wider than the Covington-Douglas-aggregate figure suggests.
