District-Level NCES Analysis
Hinton operates 3 public schools serving 736 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary 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 Caddo County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,621 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 36.6% local, 40.6% state, and 22.9% 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 26/100, ranked #345 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 335.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 11.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 64.6% White, 22.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Hinton Hs, with a diversity index of 57.2/100.
Its largest campus is Hinton Es, enrolling 300 students (42% of the district's total enrollment).
Hinton Es accounts for 40.8% of all Hinton student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Hinton-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.
Hinton student-counselor ratio is 335:1 — 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 Hinton is typically wider than the Hinton-aggregate figure suggests.
Hinton chronic absenteeism rate is 11.2% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
