District-Level NCES Analysis

PANAMA operates 3 public schools serving 730 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 744 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Le Flore County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,089 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 26.9% local, 43.5% state, and 29.6% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $57,675 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 34/100, ranked #251 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 385:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 17.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 54.4% White, 7.0% Hispanic or Latino, 1.7% Asian across the district's schools.

Panama Es accounts for 55.6% of all PANAMA student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means PANAMA-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

PANAMA school enrollment varies 3.9× across entities

PANAMA school enrollment ranges from 107 students (lowest) to 414 students (highest), a spread of 307 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.

PANAMA student-counselor ratio is 385:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

PANAMA chronic absenteeism rate is 17.3% — 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 PANAMA is typically wider than the PANAMA-aggregate figure suggests.
