How Graham-Dustin Elementary compares with Oklahoma and U.S. medians
What stands out at Graham-Dustin Elementary
Small campus without a staffing-size advantage
Graham-Dustin Elementary enrolls fewer students than most Oklahoma schools, yet its student-teacher ratio is still on the heavier side of the state distribution. Small enrollment therefore does not translate into more teacher capacity per student here. That makes staffing capacity, rather than campus scale alone, the useful interpretation. The counselor, attendance, and program indicators below help show whether the pressure is narrow or part of a broader resource constraint.
A combined-grade campus has a different support burden
Graham-Dustin Elementary 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.
Graham-Dustin Elementary is a mid-sized combined-grade school in Dustin, Oklahoma, enrolling 105 students.
Class loads run heavy: 26.3:1 is larger than about 97% of Oklahoma schools and 63% above the 16.1:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Enrollment of 105 puts it in the smaller third of Oklahoma schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 94% of the 1,778 Oklahoma schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Its student body is led by White (33%) and Two or More (31%) (diversity index 73/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 375 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
10.5% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
Its district draws 21.7% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Its district, Graham-Dustin, also runs Graham-Dustin High School (41 students).
