How Deer Creek-Lamont Es compares with Oklahoma and U.S. medians
What stands out at Deer Creek-Lamont Es
Small campus with unusually lean teacher staffing
Deer Creek-Lamont Es sits near the smaller end of the Oklahoma enrollment distribution while also reporting a lower student-teacher ratio than most state schools. That pairing is consistent with a compact, teacher-dense setting, though small scale can limit the number of specialized courses or support roles a campus can sustain. The program and staffing sections below show whether the lean ratio extends beyond classroom teachers into broader student services.
A combined-grade campus has a different support burden
Deer Creek-Lamont Es serves a combined grade span rather than a conventional elementary, middle, or high-school band. That structure can require the same campus to cover transitions, counseling needs, and programs for students at substantially different developmental stages, so a single staffing ratio deserves more caution than it would at a narrower-grade school. Federal totals show the available people and programs, but not how those resources are divided among grade levels.
Deer Creek-Lamont Es is a small combined-grade school in Deer Creek, Oklahoma, enrolling 98 students.
