District-Level NCES Analysis
Perry operates 3 public schools serving 1,015 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 Noble County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,947 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 52.8% local, 32.2% state, and 15.0% 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 26/100, ranked #344 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 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 429.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 27.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 70.0% White, 7.7% Hispanic or Latino, 1.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Perry Jhs, with a diversity index of 52.9/100.
Its largest campus is Perry Es, enrolling 573 students (56% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Perry Jhs, at 130 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Perry Es accounts for 55.6% of all Perry student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Perry a distant remainder — means Perry-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.
Perry school enrollment varies 4.4× across entities
Perry school enrollment ranges from 130 students (lowest) to 573 students (highest), a spread of 443 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.
Perry student-counselor ratio is 430:1 — 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.
Perry chronic absenteeism rate is 27.6% — 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 Perry is typically wider than the Perry-aggregate figure suggests.
Perry has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 1,015 students.
