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 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,278 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Stephens County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,963 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 31.4% local, 48.7% state, and 19.9% 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 $49,953 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 25/100, ranked #361 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 316.9:1 student-counselor ratio, 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.
Duncan Hs accounts for 29.9% of all DUNCAN student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means DUNCAN-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
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% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
