District-Level NCES Analysis
Earlsboro operates 2 public schools serving 263 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 Pottawatomie County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,549 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 21.3% local, 57.6% state, and 21.0% 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 38/100, ranked #228 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 159.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 26.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 39.2% White, 7.5% Hispanic or Latino, 3.5% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Earlsboro Es, enrolling 159 students (67% of the district's total enrollment).
Earlsboro Es accounts for 60.5% of all Earlsboro student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Earlsboro a distant remainder — means Earlsboro-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.
Earlsboro student-counselor ratio is 160:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Earlsboro chronic absenteeism rate is 26.4% — 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 Earlsboro is typically wider than the Earlsboro-aggregate figure suggests.
