District-Level NCES Analysis

Guthrie operates 7 public schools serving 3,465 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle 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 Logan County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,058 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 35.4% local, 44.0% state, and 20.6% 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 25/100, ranked #350 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 612.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 22.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.2% White, 20.4% Hispanic or Latino, 5.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Charter Oak Es, with a diversity index of 63.4/100.

Its largest campus is Guthrie Hs, enrolling 960 students (28% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Central Es, at 269 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Guthrie Hs accounts for 27.6% of all Guthrie student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Guthrie-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.

Guthrie school enrollment varies 3.6× across entities

Guthrie school enrollment ranges from 269 students (lowest) to 960 students (highest), a spread of 691 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.

Guthrie student-counselor ratio is 612:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)

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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.

Guthrie chronic absenteeism rate is 22.0% — 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 Guthrie is typically wider than the Guthrie-aggregate figure suggests.
