District-Level NCES Analysis
Mcloud operates 5 public schools serving 1,667 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 combined, 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 Pottawatomie County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,110 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 54 of 540 Oklahoma districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oklahoma compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 38.2% local, 48.1% state, and 13.8% 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 27/100, ranked #326 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 314.4:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 24.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 54.8% White, 11.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Mcloud Jhs, with a diversity index of 64.2/100.
Its largest campus is Mcloud Hs, enrolling 490 students (32% of the district's total enrollment).
Mcloud Hs accounts for 29.4% of all Mcloud student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Mcloud-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Mcloud school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities
Mcloud school enrollment ranges from 212 students (lowest) to 490 students (highest), a spread of 278 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.
Mcloud student-counselor ratio is 314:1 — 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 Mcloud is typically wider than the Mcloud-aggregate figure suggests.
Mcloud chronic absenteeism rate is 24.8% — 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 Mcloud is typically wider than the Mcloud-aggregate figure suggests.
