District-Level NCES Analysis
Yale operates 3 public schools serving 349 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oklahoma. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Payne County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,276 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 34.8% local, 49.1% state, and 16.1% 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 43/100, ranked #174 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.
a 368.7:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 33.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 71.0% White, 4.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Yale Es, with a diversity index of 53.0/100.
Its largest campus is Yale Es, enrolling 167 students (46% of the district's total enrollment).
Yale Es accounts for 45.8% of all Yale student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Yale a distant remainder — means Yale-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Yale school enrollment varies 2.4× across entities
Yale school enrollment ranges from 71 students (lowest) to 167 students (highest), a spread of 96 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.
Yale student-counselor ratio is 369:1 — 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.
Yale chronic absenteeism rate is 33.4% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
