Funding

How Oklahoma funds schools

Oklahoma distributes state aid through the State Aid Funding Formula, built on Weighted Average Daily Membership: raw enrollment is adjusted by grade-level weights and by pupil-category weights for special education, gifted, bilingual and economically disadvantaged students, plus small-school and isolation factors. The result is then reduced by chargeable local revenue (property tax, the county 4-mill levy, motor-vehicle and gross-production collections), so state dollars flow inversely to local wealth.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Altus School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Oklahoma assigns A–F report-card grades on each indicator and overall, published on the Oklahoma School Report Cards, covering achievement, growth, graduation, English-learner progress and chronic absenteeism. Look up Altus School District on oklaschools.com.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Oklahoma accredits public districts itself through the State Board of Education under the Standards for Accreditation of Oklahoma Schools (OAC 210:35); any Cognia accreditation a district also holds is voluntary and separate. See the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
