District-Level NCES Analysis
Duncan operates 8 public schools serving 3,361 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Stephens County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,866 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 funding mix is 31.4% local, 48.7% state, and 19.9% 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 29/100, ranked #300 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 316.9:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 9.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.7% White, 21.3% Hispanic or Latino, 3.2% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Woodrow Wilson Es, with a diversity index of 68.6/100.
Its largest campus is Duncan Hs, enrolling 981 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Mark Twain Es, at 160 students, a 6x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Duncan Hs accounts for 29.2% of all Duncan student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Duncan-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Duncan school enrollment varies 6.1× across entities
Duncan school enrollment ranges from 160 students (lowest) to 981 students (highest), a spread of 821 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.
Duncan student-counselor ratio is 317:1 — 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 Duncan is typically wider than the Duncan-aggregate figure suggests.
Duncan chronic absenteeism rate is 9.4% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
