District-Level NCES Analysis
Jay operates 4 public schools serving 1,595 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 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 Delaware County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,712 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 19.7% local, 39.3% state, and 40.9% 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 57/100, ranked #35 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.
a 330.9:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 23.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 23.9% White, 9.9% Hispanic or Latino, 8.7% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Jay Ms, with a diversity index of 65.5/100.
Its largest campus is Jay Es, enrolling 538 students (35% of the district's total enrollment).
Jay Es accounts for 33.7% of all Jay student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Jay-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.
Jay school enrollment ranges from 229 students (lowest) to 538 students (highest), a spread of 309 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.
Jay student-counselor ratio is 331:1 — 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 Jay is typically wider than the Jay-aggregate figure suggests.
Jay chronic absenteeism rate is 23.9% — 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 Jay is typically wider than the Jay-aggregate figure suggests.
Jay has 4 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 1,595 students.
