What stands out about North Rock Creek
- Estimated teacher pay here rose +14.8% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Oklahoma's statewide +6.4% by 8.4 points, a growth rate faster than 76% of the 503 Oklahoma districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment grew 63.2% here, from 740 students in FY2019 to 1,208 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
