That figure sits 24% above the Utah state mean of 23.1:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 81% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 2.5% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 91% below the Utah average and 95% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 319 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 11.6% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Davis District spends $9,987 per pupil district-wide, below the Utah average of $12,354 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 35.7% from local sources (property taxes), 51.7% from the state, and 12.6% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 34/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
