Counselor coverage works out to roughly 269 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 28.0% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Comanche spends $12,438 per pupil district-wide, below the Oklahoma average of $14,176 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 28.4% from local sources (property taxes), 53.0% from the state, and 18.6% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 47/100 (D), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
