District-Level NCES Analysis
Open Classroom operates 1 public schools serving 315 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined 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 Salt Lake County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,241 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 155 Utah districts by per-pupil spending. See how Utah compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 4.4% local, 83.0% state, and 12.6% 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 51/100, ranked #66 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 307:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat 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.
Its largest campus is Open Classroom, enrolling 307 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Open Classroom accounts for 97.5% of all Open Classroom student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Open Classroom a distant remainder — means Open Classroom-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.
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% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Open Classroom has 1 school, including 1 combined. Total enrollment is 315 students.
