Per-pupil expenditure runs $8,448 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 33.8% local, 55.9% state, and 10.3% 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 30/100, ranked #131 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 9 of 49 schools offering Advanced Placement (73 AP courses district-wide), a 624.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 31.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 76.4% White, 18.2% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Landmark High, with a diversity index of 56.7/100.
Its largest campus is Nebo Online School, enrolling 7,791 students (18% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Nebo Advanced Learning Center, at 2 students, a 3896x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Nebo Online School accounts for 17.8% of all Nebo District student enrollment
That concentration means Nebo 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.
Nebo District school enrollment varies 3896× across entities
Nebo District school enrollment ranges from 2 students (lowest) to 7,791 students (highest), a spread of 7,789 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Nebo District student-counselor ratio is 624:1 — 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.
Nebo District chronic absenteeism rate is 31.9% — 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.
Nebo District has 49 schools, including 42 combined, 2 high, 5 middle. Total enrollment is 37,044 students.
