District-Level NCES Analysis
Lone Wolf operates 2 public schools serving 109 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high 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 Kiowa County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,349 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 25.0% local, 43.4% state, and 31.6% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one.
a 293.8:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 52.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 49.2% White, 34.9% Hispanic or Latino, 1.4% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Lone Wolf Es, enrolling 68 students (72% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses fell 11.9% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (109 to 96 students), and the student-teacher ratio widened by 8.5 students per teacher despite the decline, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $1,467,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 46.5% went to instruction, 46.7% to support services, and 0.8% to capital outlay, support-services-heavy relative to typical districts, reflecting spending on transportation, administration, or student services. Figures come from the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey's function-level breakdown, not the aggregate per-pupil figure above.
Lone Wolf Es accounts for 62.4% of all Lone Wolf student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Lone Wolf a distant remainder — means Lone Wolf-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Lone Wolf student-counselor ratio is 294:1 — 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 Lone Wolf is typically wider than the Lone Wolf-aggregate figure suggests.
Lone Wolf chronic absenteeism rate is 52.8% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
