How Wainwright Public School compares with Oklahoma and U.S. medians
What stands out at Wainwright Public School
Small campus without a staffing-size advantage
Wainwright Public School 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.
Attendance is a relative strength
7.5% of Wainwright Public School students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 civil-rights collection. On its face, that is a comparatively low historical rate, though this page does not treat it as a current national benchmark or guarantee current-year performance. Here, attendance is a more distinctive signal than the presence or absence of any single specialist role.
Wainwright Public School is a small combined-grade school in Wainwright, Oklahoma, enrolling 80 students.
Class loads run heavy: 20:1 is larger than about 89% of Oklahoma schools and 24% above the 16.1:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Enrollment of 80 puts it in the smaller third of Oklahoma schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 1,778 scored Oklahoma schools.
Its student body is led by White (45%) and Two or More (39%) (diversity index 63/100).
Attendance holds up well here: only 7.5% of students were chronically absent, below the typical post-pandemic national figure.
Its district draws 23.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Wainwright operates only this one school, so Wainwright Public School has no district-mates to compare against locally. At 80 students, it is also a small operation, on the smaller end of Oklahoma's single-school districts.
