District-Level NCES Analysis
Utah Arts Academy operates 1 public schools serving 272 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high 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 Washington County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,745 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 5.7% local, 85.1% state, and 9.2% 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 66/100, ranked #25 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.

Utah Arts Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Utah Arts Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Utah Arts Academy a distant remainder — means Utah Arts Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Utah Arts Academy student-counselor ratio is 311:1 — 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 Utah Arts Academy is typically wider than the Utah Arts Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
Utah Arts Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 64.0% — 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.
Utah Arts Academy has 1 school, including 1 high. Total enrollment is 272 students.
