District-Level NCES Analysis
Union operates 17 public schools serving 14,890 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 13 combined, 2 high, 2 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 Tulsa County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,730 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 48.0% local, 37.7% state, and 14.3% 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 22/100, ranked #382 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 17 schools offering Advanced Placement (20 AP courses district-wide), a 485.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 23.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 41.0% Hispanic or Latino, 22.4% White, 15.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Jarman Es, with a diversity index of 80.6/100.
Its largest campus is Union Hs, enrolling 3,569 students (24% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Andersen Es, at 348 students, a 10x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Union Hs accounts for 23.9% of all Union student enrollment
That concentration means Union-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.
Union school enrollment varies 10× across entities
Union school enrollment ranges from 348 students (lowest) to 3,569 students (highest), a spread of 3,221 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Union student-counselor ratio is 486:1 — 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.
Union chronic absenteeism rate is 23.5% — 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 Union is typically wider than the Union-aggregate figure suggests.
Union has 17 schools, including 2 high, 2 middle, 13 combined. Total enrollment is 14,890 students.
