District-Level NCES Analysis
Stillwater operates 9 public schools serving 6,146 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 7 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Payne County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,747 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 51.8% local, 35.0% state, and 13.1% 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 24/100, ranked #362 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 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (13 AP courses district-wide), a 402.2:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 22.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.6% White, 14.1% Hispanic or Latino, 5.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Will Rogers Es, with a diversity index of 73.7/100.
Its largest campus is Stillwater Hs, enrolling 1,341 students (22% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Richmond Es, at 362 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Stillwater Hs accounts for 21.8% of all Stillwater student enrollment
That concentration means Stillwater-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Stillwater school enrollment varies 3.7× across entities
Stillwater school enrollment ranges from 362 students (lowest) to 1,341 students (highest), a spread of 979 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.
Stillwater student-counselor ratio is 402:1 — 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.
Stillwater chronic absenteeism rate is 22.8% — 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 Stillwater is typically wider than the Stillwater-aggregate figure suggests.
