District-Level NCES Analysis
Hugo operates 4 public schools serving 1,219 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle, 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 Choctaw County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,253 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 20.1% local, 54.6% state, and 25.3% 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 50/100, ranked #80 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 268.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 28.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 28.9% White, 22.5% African American, 6.8% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Hugo Ms, with a diversity index of 77.9/100.
Its largest campus is Hugo Es, enrolling 415 students (39% of the district's total enrollment).
Hugo Es accounts for 34.0% of all Hugo student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Hugo-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.
Hugo school enrollment varies 2.9× across entities
Hugo school enrollment ranges from 144 students (lowest) to 415 students (highest), a spread of 271 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.
Hugo student-counselor ratio is 269:1 — 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 Hugo is typically wider than the Hugo-aggregate figure suggests.
Hugo chronic absenteeism rate is 28.8% — 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 Hugo is typically wider than the Hugo-aggregate figure suggests.
Hugo has 4 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 1,219 students.
