District-Level NCES Analysis
Morris operates 3 public schools serving 945 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 Okmulgee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,781 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 19.1% local, 58.4% 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 45/100, ranked #144 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38, in line with the typical spread seen across 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 255.3:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 32.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 43.6% White, 2.6% African American, 2.1% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Morris Hs, with a diversity index of 69.0/100.
Its largest campus is Morris Es, enrolling 442 students (49% of the district's total enrollment).
Morris Es accounts for 46.8% of all Morris student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Morris a distant remainder — means Morris-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.
Morris school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities
Morris school enrollment ranges from 195 students (lowest) to 442 students (highest), a spread of 247 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.
Morris student-counselor ratio is 255:1 — 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 Morris is typically wider than the Morris-aggregate figure suggests.
Morris chronic absenteeism rate is 32.4% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
