District-Level NCES Analysis

Utah Virtual Academy operates 1 public schools serving 1,772 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,890 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Salt Lake County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,379 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 0.0% local, 94.8% state, and 5.1% 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 — 71/100, ranked #18 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (10 AP courses district-wide), a 287.2:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 0.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 65.1% White, 22.6% Hispanic or Latino, 2.0% African American across the district's schools.

Utah Virtual Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Utah Virtual Academy student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Utah Virtual Academy-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.

Utah Virtual Academy student-counselor ratio is 287:1 — 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 Virtual Academy is typically wider than the Utah Virtual Academy-aggregate figure suggests.

Utah Virtual Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 0.3% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
