District-Level NCES Analysis
Spiro operates 3 public schools serving 1,063 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 Le Flore County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,095 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 24.7% local, 48.6% state, and 26.7% 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 33/100, ranked #260 of 439 in Oklahoma against a state average of 38, in line with the typical spread seen across 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 235.4:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 22.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.1% White, 8.6% Hispanic or Latino, 5.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Spiro Ms, with a diversity index of 67.6/100.
Its largest campus is Spiro Es, enrolling 574 students (53% of the district's total enrollment).
Spiro Es accounts for 52.8% of all Spiro student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Spiro a distant remainder — means Spiro-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.
Spiro school enrollment varies 2.6× across entities
Spiro school enrollment ranges from 222 students (lowest) to 574 students (highest), a spread of 352 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.
Spiro student-counselor ratio is 235:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Spiro chronic absenteeism rate is 22.5% — 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 Spiro is typically wider than the Spiro-aggregate figure suggests.
