District-Level NCES Analysis
Roland 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 Sequoyah County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,072 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 540 Oklahoma districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oklahoma compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 19.6% local, 53.3% state, and 27.1% 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 53/100, ranked #63 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38, notably more 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 635.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 39.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 48.0% White, 4.8% Hispanic or Latino, 2.4% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Roland Es, with a diversity index of 66.5/100.
Its largest campus is Roland Es, enrolling 406 students (44% of the district's total enrollment).
Roland Es accounts for 43.0% of all Roland student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Roland-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.
Roland school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Roland school enrollment ranges from 186 students (lowest) to 406 students (highest), a spread of 220 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.
Roland student-counselor ratio is 636:1 — 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.
Roland chronic absenteeism rate is 39.5% — 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.
Roland has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 945 students.
