District-Level NCES Analysis

Geronimo operates 3 public schools serving 343 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,493 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 32.8% local, 46.5% state, and 20.8% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 30/100, ranked #295 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.

a 73:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 20.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 52.2% White, 19.2% Hispanic or Latino, 2.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Geronimo Hs, with a diversity index of 64.4/100.

Its largest campus is Geronimo Es, enrolling 176 students (55% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Geronimo Ms, at 49 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Geronimo Es accounts for 51.3% of all Geronimo student enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Geronimo a distant remainder — means Geronimo-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.

Geronimo school enrollment varies 3.6× across entities

Geronimo school enrollment ranges from 49 students (lowest) to 176 students (highest), a spread of 127 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.

Geronimo student-counselor ratio is 73:1 — 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.

Geronimo chronic absenteeism rate is 20.7% — 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 Geronimo is typically wider than the Geronimo-aggregate figure suggests.
