District-Level NCES Analysis
Wasatch District operates 9 public schools serving 9,082 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 combined, 2 middle, 1 high, 1 elementary schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Wasatch County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,533 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 62.3% local, 30.5% state, and 7.2% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 49/100, ranked #71 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (11 AP courses district-wide), a 608.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 20.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 72.5% White, 23.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Heber Valley School, with a diversity index of 52.0/100.
Its largest campus is Wasatch High, enrolling 2,604 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Heber Valley School, at 561 students, a 5x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Wasatch High accounts for 28.7% of all Wasatch District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Wasatch District-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.
Wasatch District school enrollment varies 4.6× across entities
Wasatch District school enrollment ranges from 561 students (lowest) to 2,604 students (highest), a spread of 2,043 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Wasatch District student-counselor ratio is 609:1 — 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.
Wasatch District chronic absenteeism rate is 20.6% — 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 Wasatch District is typically wider than the Wasatch District-aggregate figure suggests.
Wasatch District has 9 schools, including 1 high, 1 elementary, 2 middle, 5 combined. Total enrollment is 9,082 students.
