The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol.

The funding mix is 63.3% local, 18.5% state, and 18.3% 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. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $85,915 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.

a 261.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 24.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.0% White, 21.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Utopia School accounts for 100.0% of all UTOPIA ISD student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means UTOPIA ISD-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.

UTOPIA ISD student-counselor ratio is 261:1 — 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 UTOPIA ISD is typically wider than the UTOPIA ISD-aggregate figure suggests.

UTOPIA ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 24.0% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

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 Variation between sub-units within UTOPIA ISD is typically wider than the UTOPIA ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
