How Bear River Charter School compares with Utah and U.S. medians
What stands out at Bear River Charter School
Bear River Charter School is a small charter elementary school in Logan, Utah, enrolling 162 students.
Class loads run heavy: 81:1 is larger than about 99% of Utah schools and 279% above the 21.4:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 24.7% lands close to the Utah typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 162 puts it in the smaller third of Utah schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 1,065 scored Utah schools.
Among 52 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Utah schools statewide, it ranks #44, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by White (72%) and Hispanic or Latino (19%) (diversity index 45/100).
Counselor coverage runs a bit thin, about 270 students per counselor, somewhat past the ASCA-recommended 250:1 benchmark.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 43.2% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Bear River Charter School is a single-school charter district, so Bear River Charter School operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
