The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,241 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 4.4% local, 83.0% state, and 12.6% 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 — 43/100, ranked #96 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 307:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 48.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 63.7% White, 16.0% Hispanic or Latino, 4.2% Asian across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Open Classroom-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Open Classroom student-counselor ratio is 307:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

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 Variation between sub-units within Open Classroom is typically wider than the Open Classroom-aggregate figure suggests.

Open Classroom chronic absenteeism rate is 48.2% — 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.
