District-Level NCES Analysis
Oxford operates 3 public schools serving 455 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 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 Sumner County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,031 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 29 of 285 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 17.0% local, 77.2% state, and 5.8% 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 35/100, ranked #198 of 250 in Kansas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 284:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 12.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 80.7% White, 10.2% Hispanic or Latino, 4.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Oxford Online Virtual School, with a diversity index of 36.6/100.
Its largest campus is Oxford Elem, enrolling 201 students (45% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Oxford Online Virtual School, at 51 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Oxford Elem accounts for 44.2% of all Oxford student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Oxford-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.
Oxford school enrollment varies 3.9× across entities
Oxford school enrollment ranges from 51 students (lowest) to 201 students (highest), a spread of 150 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.
Oxford student-counselor ratio is 284:1 — 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 Oxford is typically wider than the Oxford-aggregate figure suggests.
Oxford chronic absenteeism rate is 12.8% — 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.
