District-Level NCES Analysis
Daggett District operates 3 public schools serving 216 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined 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 Daggett County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $22,234 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 16 of 155 Utah districts by per-pupil spending. See how Utah compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 39.9% local, 50.4% state, and 9.7% 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 78/100, ranked #10 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 60.7:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 50.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.4% White, 2.4% Hispanic or Latino, 2.1% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Manila High, with a diversity index of 18.5/100.
Its largest campus is Manila High, enrolling 111 students (56% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Flaming Gorge School, at 16 students, a 7x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Manila High accounts for 51.4% of all Daggett District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Daggett District a distant remainder — means Daggett District-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.
Daggett District school enrollment varies 6.9× across entities
Daggett District school enrollment ranges from 16 students (lowest) to 111 students (highest), a spread of 95 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.
Daggett District student-counselor ratio is 61:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Daggett District chronic absenteeism rate is 50.4% — 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.
Daggett District has 3 schools, including 3 combined. Total enrollment is 216 students.
