District-Level NCES Analysis
Excelsior Academy operates 1 public schools serving 1,397 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 Tooele County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $8,868 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 2.1% local, 84.6% state, and 13.3% 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 39/100, ranked #108 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.

Excelsior Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Excelsior Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Excelsior Academy a distant remainder — means Excelsior 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.
Excelsior Academy student-counselor ratio is 703:1 — 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.
Excelsior Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 29.8% — 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 Excelsior Academy is typically wider than the Excelsior Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
Excelsior Academy has 1 school, including 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 1,397 students.
