District-Level NCES Analysis

Enid operates 16 public schools serving 7,743 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 11 combined, 3 middle, 1 high, 1 elementary 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 Garfield County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,731 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 30.6% local, 50.2% state, and 19.2% 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 23/100, ranked #375 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 16 schools offering Advanced Placement (19 AP courses district-wide), a 414.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 39.9% White, 30.3% Hispanic or Latino, 2.3% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Garfield Es, with a diversity index of 74.7/100.

Its largest campus is Enid Hs, enrolling 2,157 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Eisenhower Es, at 130 students, a 17x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Enid Hs accounts for 27.9% of all Enid student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Enid-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.

Enid school enrollment varies 17× across entities

Enid school enrollment ranges from 130 students (lowest) to 2,157 students (highest), a spread of 2,027 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Enid student-counselor ratio is 414:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

Enid chronic absenteeism rate is 24.6% — 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 Enid is typically wider than the Enid-aggregate figure suggests.
