The school portfolio breaks down into 8 combined, 5 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Duchesne County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,933 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 38.7% local, 49.3% state, and 12.1% 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 63/100, ranked #29 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 15 schools offering Advanced Placement (8 AP courses district-wide), a 684.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 34.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 79.3% White, 11.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is East School, with a diversity index of 54.8/100.
Its largest campus is Union High, enrolling 1,166 students (22% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Basin Online School, at 39 students, a 30x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Union High accounts for 21.5% of all Duchesne District student enrollment
That concentration means Duchesne District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Duchesne District school enrollment varies 30× across entities
Duchesne District school enrollment ranges from 39 students (lowest) to 1,166 students (highest), a spread of 1,127 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Duchesne District student-counselor ratio is 684:1 — 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.
Duchesne District chronic absenteeism rate is 34.6% — 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.
Duchesne District has 15 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 5 elementary, 8 combined. Total enrollment is 5,435 students.
