District-Level NCES Analysis
Stilwell operates 3 public schools serving 1,394 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 combined, 1 elementary 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 Adair County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,104 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 15.5% local, 52.7% state, and 31.8% 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 58/100, ranked #28 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 (5 AP courses district-wide), a 290.1:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 16.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 18.9% Hispanic or Latino, 18.1% White, 1.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Stilwell Es, with a diversity index of 73.1/100.
Its largest campus is Stilwell Hs, enrolling 641 students (47% of the district's total enrollment).
Stilwell Hs accounts for 46.0% of all Stilwell student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Stilwell a distant remainder — means Stilwell-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.
Stilwell school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Stilwell school enrollment ranges from 291 students (lowest) to 641 students (highest), a spread of 350 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.
Stilwell student-counselor ratio is 290:1 — 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 Stilwell is typically wider than the Stilwell-aggregate figure suggests.
Stilwell chronic absenteeism rate is 16.9% — 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 Stilwell is typically wider than the Stilwell-aggregate figure suggests.
