Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 34.9% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 25% above the Utah average and 33% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 577 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1.
On the finance side, the surrounding Weber District spends $11,173 per pupil district-wide, below the Utah average of $12,354 and below the national average of $19,490.
