District-Level NCES Analysis
Scholar Academy operates 1 public schools serving 666 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $7,108 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 16 of 155 Utah districts by per-pupil spending. See how Utah compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 0.9% local, 86.9% state, and 12.2% 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 36/100, ranked #122 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.

Scholar Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Scholar Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Scholar Academy a distant remainder — means Scholar Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Scholar Academy student-counselor ratio is 1725:1 — 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.
Scholar Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 42.8% — 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.
Scholar Academy has 1 school, including 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 666 students.
