District-Level NCES Analysis
Tecumseh operates 5 public schools serving 1,968 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 $10,915 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 17.1% local, 61.5% state, and 21.4% 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 44/100, ranked #156 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 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 292.4:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 24.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.0% White, 7.1% Hispanic or Latino, 1.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Cross Timbers Es, with a diversity index of 65.4/100.
Its largest campus is Tecumseh Hs, enrolling 684 students (35% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Tecumseh Early Childhood Ctr, at 202 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Tecumseh Hs accounts for 34.8% of all Tecumseh student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Tecumseh-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.
Tecumseh school enrollment varies 3.4× across entities
Tecumseh school enrollment ranges from 202 students (lowest) to 684 students (highest), a spread of 482 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.
Tecumseh student-counselor ratio is 292:1 — 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 Tecumseh is typically wider than the Tecumseh-aggregate figure suggests.
Tecumseh chronic absenteeism rate is 24.8% — 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 Tecumseh is typically wider than the Tecumseh-aggregate figure suggests.
