How Avant Public School compares with Oklahoma and U.S. medians
What stands out at Avant Public School
Scale and staffing sit near the state mainstream
Avant Public School is neither an extreme outlier in enrollment nor in student-teacher ratio among Oklahoma schools. Its profile therefore turns on the other dimensions rather than on scale alone: economic need, counselor coverage, program access, attendance, and district finance. This middle placement is useful because it prevents the campus from being mislabeled as unusually large, small, crowded, or teacher-dense when the federal comparison does not support that claim.
Attendance is the dominant support signal
Avant Public School's 36.2% chronic-absence rate is more consequential than a generic staffing label: at least one quarter of students missed 10% or more of school days in the 2021-22 collection. That level can affect instruction, counseling demand, and continuity even when other reported resources look ordinary. The dataset records the scale of absence but not its causes, so it should prompt a current-year question rather than a conclusion about school management.
Avant Public School is a small combined-grade school in Avant, Oklahoma, enrolling 47 students.
At 15.7:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the Oklahoma median, within a few percentage points of the 16.1:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
This is a small campus: fewer students than 97% of Oklahoma schools, with 47 enrolled.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 1,778 scored Oklahoma schools.
Its student body is led by White (53%) and American Indian / Alaska Native (43%) (diversity index 53/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 36.2% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 21.4% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Avant operates only this one school, so Avant Public School has no district-mates to compare against locally. At 47 students, it is also a small operation, on the smaller end of Oklahoma's single-school districts.
