District-Level NCES Analysis
Newcastle operates 4 public schools serving 2,578 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle, 1 combined 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 Mcclain County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,158 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 53.3% local, 37.0% state, and 9.8% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 10/100, ranked #434 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 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 634.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 12.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 60.1% White, 13.5% Hispanic or Latino, 2.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Newcastle Early Childhood Ctr, with a diversity index of 64.5/100.
Its largest campus is Newcastle Hs, enrolling 809 students (31% of the district's total enrollment).
Newcastle Hs accounts for 30.9% of all Newcastle student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Newcastle-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Newcastle student-counselor ratio is 635:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Newcastle chronic absenteeism rate is 12.1% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
