District-Level NCES Analysis
Beaver District operates 7 public schools serving 1,561 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 3 combined, 1 middle 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 Beaver County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,119 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 155 Utah districts by per-pupil spending. See how Utah compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 43.7% local, 44.9% state, and 11.5% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 60/100, ranked #39 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 249.8:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 19.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 79.6% White, 17.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Milford School, with a diversity index of 38.9/100.
Its largest campus is Belknap School, enrolling 451 students (31% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Minersville School, at 38 students, a 12x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Belknap School accounts for 28.9% of all Beaver District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Beaver District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Beaver District school enrollment varies 12× across entities
Beaver District school enrollment ranges from 38 students (lowest) to 451 students (highest), a spread of 413 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Beaver District student-counselor ratio is 250:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Beaver District chronic absenteeism rate is 19.1% — 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 Beaver District is typically wider than the Beaver District-aggregate figure suggests.
Beaver District has 7 schools, including 3 elementary, 3 combined, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 1,561 students.
