What this school's NCES data tells you
Central Jhs reports 461 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 27.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 16.2:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 1% below the Oklahoma state mean of 16.4:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 2% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Counselor coverage works out to roughly 461 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 29.5% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Guymon spends $12,999 per pupil district-wide, below the Oklahoma average of $14,176 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 26.0% from local sources (property taxes), 45.3% from the state, and 28.7% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 35/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
