What this school's NCES data tells you
Newcastle Ms reports 599 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 31.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 19.1:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 16% above the Oklahoma state mean of 16.4:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 20% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Counselor coverage works out to roughly 382 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 9.2% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Newcastle spends $11,520 per pupil district-wide, below the Oklahoma average of $14,176 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 53.3% from local sources (property taxes), 37.0% from the state, and 9.8% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 49/100 (D), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
