District-Level NCES Analysis
Pinnacle Canyon Academy operates 1 public schools serving 407 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 Carbon County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,940 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 2.0% local, 79.6% state, and 18.5% 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 85/100, ranked #2 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 360:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 48.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 71.1% White, 25.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Pinnacle Canyon Academy, enrolling 360 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Pinnacle Canyon Academy accounts for 88.5% of all Pinnacle Canyon Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Pinnacle Canyon Academy a distant remainder — means Pinnacle Canyon Academy-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.
Pinnacle Canyon Academy has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 57.0% 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.
Pinnacle Canyon Academy student-counselor ratio is 360:1 — 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.
Pinnacle Canyon Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 48.6% — 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.
Pinnacle Canyon Academy has 1 school, including 1 combined. Total enrollment is 407 students.
