District-Level NCES Analysis

Alpine District operates 90 public schools serving 87,136 students, placing it among the larger districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 78 other, 10 high, 2 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 86,309 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Utah County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,402 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 36.4% local, 51.6% state, and 12.0% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $50,335 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 25/100, ranked #142 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 16 of 90 schools offering Advanced Placement (362 AP courses district-wide), a 1094.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 32.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 73.9% White, 18.1% Hispanic or Latino, 1.0% Asian across the district's schools.

Alpine District school enrollment varies 32× across entities

Alpine District school enrollment ranges from 104 students (lowest) to 3,300 students (highest), a spread of 3,196 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity — the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Alpine District student-counselor ratio is 1094:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

Alpine District chronic absenteeism rate is 32.1% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
