District-Level NCES Analysis
Drumright operates 3 public schools serving 446 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 Creek County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,791 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 46.8% local, 38.5% state, and 14.7% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 23/100, ranked #380 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.
a 256.4:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 36.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 60.3% White, 3.6% Hispanic or Latino, 1.2% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Drumright Hs, with a diversity index of 57.1/100.
Its largest campus is Bradley Es, enrolling 217 students (52% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Virgil Cooper Ms, at 54 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Bradley Es accounts for 48.7% of all Drumright student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Drumright a distant remainder — means Drumright-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.
Drumright school enrollment varies 4.0× across entities
Drumright school enrollment ranges from 54 students (lowest) to 217 students (highest), a spread of 163 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.
Drumright student-counselor ratio is 256:1 — 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 Drumright is typically wider than the Drumright-aggregate figure suggests.
Drumright chronic absenteeism rate is 36.8% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
