District-Level NCES Analysis
American Preparatory Academy operates 6 public schools serving 5,195 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 combined, 2 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Salt Lake County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $8,350 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 155 Utah districts by per-pupil spending. See how Utah compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 2.6% local, 83.1% state, and 14.3% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 42/100, ranked #99 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (19 AP courses district-wide), a 828.2:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 39.2% White, 36.0% Hispanic or Latino, 16.3% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is American Preparatory Academy - Draper #2, with a diversity index of 70.0/100.

That dominant concentration means American Preparatory Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
American Preparatory Academy school enrollment varies 2.7× across entities
American Preparatory Academy school enrollment ranges from 570 students (lowest) to 1,556 students (highest), a spread of 986 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
American Preparatory Academy student-counselor ratio is 828:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
American Preparatory Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 24.3% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within American Preparatory Academy is typically wider than the American Preparatory Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
