District-Level NCES Analysis

Harrah operates 5 public schools serving 2,206 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined 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 Oklahoma County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $8,294 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 54 of 540 Oklahoma districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oklahoma compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 32.2% local, 53.1% state, and 14.7% 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 18/100, ranked #409 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 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 339.7:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 19.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 64.8% White, 9.2% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Harrah Hs, with a diversity index of 56.8/100.

Its largest campus is Harrah Hs, enrolling 641 students (31% of the district's total enrollment).

Harrah Hs accounts for 29.1% of all Harrah student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Harrah-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.

Harrah student-counselor ratio is 340:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

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 Variation between sub-units within Harrah is typically wider than the Harrah-aggregate figure suggests.

Harrah chronic absenteeism rate is 19.7% — 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 Harrah is typically wider than the Harrah-aggregate figure suggests.
