District-Level NCES Analysis

FORT GIBSON operates 4 public schools serving 1,795 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 other, 1 middle, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,714 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Muskogee County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,398 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 41.7% local, 39.1% state, and 19.2% 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 $56,799 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 23/100, ranked #388 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 360.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 20.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 35.2% White, 6.9% Hispanic or Latino, 1.7% African American across the district's schools.

Fort Gibson Hs accounts for 31.9% of all FORT GIBSON student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means FORT GIBSON-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.

FORT GIBSON student-counselor ratio is 360:1 — 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.

FORT GIBSON chronic absenteeism rate is 20.2% — 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 FORT GIBSON is typically wider than the FORT GIBSON-aggregate figure suggests.
