District-Level NCES Analysis

Monticello Academy operates 2 public schools serving 1,080 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,131 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Salt Lake County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,599 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 1.2% local, 79.1% state, and 19.7% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 56/100, ranked #54 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 884:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 26.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 42.1% White, 40.7% Hispanic or Latino, 3.3% Asian across the district's schools.

Monticello Academy accounts for 60.9% of all Monticello Academy student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Monticello 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.

Monticello Academy student-counselor ratio is 884:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

Monticello Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 26.9% — 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 Monticello Academy is typically wider than the Monticello Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
