District-Level NCES Analysis
Ryal operates 1 public schools serving 75 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 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 Mcintosh County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,933 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 5.1% local, 38.9% state, and 56.1% federal, an unusually federal-heavy mix, typically a marker of concentrated Title I eligibility or a small district reliant on federal impact-aid programs.
and 5.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 29.6% White, 1.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Ryal Public School, enrolling 54 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Ryal Public School accounts for 72.0% of all Ryal student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Ryal a distant remainder — means Ryal-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Ryal chronic absenteeism rate is 5.6% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
