District-Level NCES Analysis
Woodward operates 7 public schools serving 2,508 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 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 Woodward County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,205 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 40.1% local, 40.6% state, and 19.3% 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 25/100, ranked #353 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 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (9 AP courses district-wide), a 290.6:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 16.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 61.3% White, 29.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Woodward Ec Ctr, with a diversity index of 54.9/100.
Its largest campus is Woodward Hs, enrolling 722 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Horace Mann Es, at 195 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Woodward Hs accounts for 28.8% of all Woodward student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Woodward-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.
Woodward school enrollment varies 3.7× across entities
Woodward school enrollment ranges from 195 students (lowest) to 722 students (highest), a spread of 527 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.
Woodward student-counselor ratio is 291:1 — 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 Woodward is typically wider than the Woodward-aggregate figure suggests.
Woodward chronic absenteeism rate is 16.1% — 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 Woodward is typically wider than the Woodward-aggregate figure suggests.
