District-Level NCES Analysis
Hardesty operates 2 public schools serving 67 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 Texas County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,687 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 540 Oklahoma districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oklahoma compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 47.1% local, 32.1% 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), and 37.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.7% Hispanic or Latino, 7.2% White, 1.4% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Hardesty Es, enrolling 35 students (81% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Hardesty Hs, at 8 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Hardesty Es accounts for 52.2% of all Hardesty student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Hardesty a distant remainder — means Hardesty-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Hardesty chronic absenteeism rate is 37.3% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
