District-Level NCES Analysis
Western Heights operates 8 public schools serving 2,858 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 combined, 2 high, 1 elementary, 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 Oklahoma County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,372 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 63.6% local, 19.8% state, and 16.6% 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 26/100, ranked #338 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 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 375.1:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 8.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 46.5% Hispanic or Latino, 23.2% African American, 14.9% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Council Grove Es, with a diversity index of 69.5/100.
Its largest campus is Western Heights Hs, enrolling 771 students (25% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Greenvale Es, at 191 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Western Heights Hs accounts for 25.1% of all Western Heights student enrollment
That concentration means Western Heights-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.
Western Heights school enrollment varies 4.0× across entities
Western Heights school enrollment ranges from 191 students (lowest) to 771 students (highest), a spread of 580 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.
Western Heights student-counselor ratio is 375:1 — 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.
Western Heights chronic absenteeism rate is 8.6% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Western Heights has 8 schools, including 2 high, 4 combined, 1 elementary, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 2,858 students.
