Jenks Public Schools (JPS) has seen consistent growth in enrollment over the last decade while revenue remained somewhat flat until a large increase in fiscal year 2019.

Since 2010, JPS has seen a 4 percent increase in total revenue available while enrollment has grown 23 percent.

As an additional 2,300 new students enrolled in Jenks over the last 10 years, per-pupil revenue has fallen by 15 percent, from $19,110 per student to $16,266 per student. That is more than $406,000 for a classroom of 25 students. While the Jenks school district may have seen a decline in per-pupil revenue, $16,266 per student still keeps Jenks well above the state average of $14,360.
