District-Level NCES Analysis
Shawnee operates 7 public schools serving 3,332 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 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 Pottawatomie County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,876 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 25.1% local, 46.2% state, and 28.7% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 53/100, ranked #62 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 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (8 AP courses district-wide), a 281.6:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 27.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 42.7% White, 14.6% Hispanic or Latino, 4.2% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Horace Mann Es, with a diversity index of 73.9/100.
Its largest campus is Shawnee Hs, enrolling 1,045 students (31% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Horace Mann Es, at 233 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Shawnee Hs accounts for 31.4% of all Shawnee student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Shawnee-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Shawnee school enrollment varies 4.5× across entities
Shawnee school enrollment ranges from 233 students (lowest) to 1,045 students (highest), a spread of 812 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.
Shawnee student-counselor ratio is 282:1 — 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 Shawnee is typically wider than the Shawnee-aggregate figure suggests.
Shawnee 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 Shawnee is typically wider than the Shawnee-aggregate figure suggests.
