Durant operates 7 public schools serving 3,854 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined 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 Bryan County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,063 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, 50.6% state, and 18.0% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 22/100, ranked #381 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 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 333.1:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 28.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 44.8% White, 17.0% Hispanic or Latino, 1.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Washington Irving Es, with a diversity index of 73.5/100.
Its largest campus is Durant Hs, enrolling 1,036 students (27% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Robert E Lee Early Childhood, at 212 students, a 5x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses held roughly steady from 2022-23 to 2023-24 (3,854 to 3,911 students, +1.5%), per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $41,729,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 51.1% went to instruction, 36.4% to support services, and 6.5% to capital outlay, support-services-heavy relative to typical districts, reflecting spending on transportation, administration, or student services. Figures come from the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey's function-level breakdown, not the aggregate per-pupil figure above.
That concentration means Durant-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.

Durant school enrollment ranges from 212 students (lowest) to 1,036 students (highest), a spread of 824 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.

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 Durant is typically wider than the Durant-aggregate figure suggests.
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 Durant is typically wider than the Durant-aggregate figure suggests.
This district scores below average on funding equity. High reliance on local revenue or lower spending may contribute.
