District-Level NCES Analysis
Little Axe operates 3 public schools serving 1,174 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 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 Cleveland County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,262 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 22.7% local, 54.8% state, and 22.5% 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 47/100, ranked #123 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 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 404.6:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 9.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 53.4% White, 14.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Little Axe Ms, with a diversity index of 65.2/100.
Its largest campus is Little Axe Es, enrolling 526 students (46% of the district's total enrollment).
Little Axe Es accounts for 44.8% of all Little Axe student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Little Axe-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.
Little Axe student-counselor ratio is 405:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Little Axe chronic absenteeism rate is 9.5% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Little Axe has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 1,174 students.
