District-Level NCES Analysis

Ogden City District operates 20 public schools serving 10,521 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 14 other, 4 elementary, 2 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 10,901 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Weber County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,547 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 38.3% local, 41.2% state, and 20.5% 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. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $54,861 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 59/100, ranked #43 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 5 of 20 schools offering Advanced Placement (8 AP courses district-wide), a 400.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 54.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 50.5% Hispanic or Latino, 41.1% White, 1.6% African American across the district's schools.

Ogden City District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 61.3% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

Ogden City District student-counselor ratio is 400:1 — 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.

Ogden City District chronic absenteeism rate is 54.2% — 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.
