District-Level NCES Analysis
C.S. Lewis Academy operates 1 public schools serving 291 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 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 Utah County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,212 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 0.9% local, 75.6% state, and 23.5% 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 77/100, ranked #11 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 224:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 75.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 60.7% Hispanic or Latino, 37.1% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is C.S. Lewis Academy, enrolling 224 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
C.S. Lewis Academy accounts for 77.0% of all C.S. Lewis Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of C.S. Lewis Academy a distant remainder — means C.S. Lewis Academy-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.
C.S. Lewis Academy student-counselor ratio is 224:1 — 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.
C.S. Lewis Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 75.4% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
