0% (no FRPL) 35% TA · 40% Schoolwide 100% (universal FRPL)

40-74% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The district can use Title I funds across the whole school under federal Schoolwide Program rules.

Source: NCES Common Core of Data, free/reduced-price lunch eligibility. The actual Title I designation is a district decision and may differ from eligibility — but the federal eligibility math is what we show here. We don't claim to assert whether the district formally chose to enroll this school in Title I.

Pay for college in Oklahoma

Oklahoma's public scholarships

Oklahoma's Promise (OHLAP) is an income-qualified deal you lock in early: apply while family income is under the cap, finish the college-prep curriculum, and the state pays your public-college tuition.

Promise Oklahoma's Promise (OHLAP)
Full public-college tuition
GPA: 2.5 (overall grades 9–12 + the required curriculum) Income: Family AGI ≤ $60k–$80k by family size at sign-up

Income-qualified promise: apply in grades 8–12 while family income is under the cap, finish the 15-unit college-prep curriculum with a 2.5 GPA, and get full public-college tuition. (Apply any time in grades 8–12; a second $100k cap is checked before college.)

Chronic absenteeism

Share of students absent 15+ days
47.0%
Well above the national average (~16%). At this level, chronic absence becomes a leading driver of enrollment loss as families rotate to other schools.
Students absent 15+ days
598
Federal definition: absent (excused or unexcused) for at least 15 of ~180 school days — about 10% of the school year.

Why this matters to enrollment: Chronic absence is the most reliable early indicator that a student will leave a school — either by transferring out, dropping out, or matriculating to a charter or private alternative. At this level, today's absentees become next year's enrollment loss and the year-after's revenue loss.

Counselor capacity

2029

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue upside

At $11,878 per student in district revenue, the 121 students projected to be gained by 2029 represent ≈ $1,437,238/year in additional funding.

District total revenue ÷ enrollment, NCES F-33. Public funding largely follows enrollment, so a shrinking class is a recurring budget hit.
