How Dual Immersion Academy compares with Utah and U.S. medians
What stands out at Dual Immersion Academy
Dual Immersion Academy is a higher-need, mid-sized charter combined-grade school in Salt Lake City, Utah, enrolling 433 students.
Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 19.7:1 puts it in the smaller third of Utah schools by student-teacher ratio.
Economic need is high: 62.6% of students qualify for free meals, 124% above the Utah average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
With 433 students, its enrollment sits close to the Utah median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 1,065 scored Utah schools.
Among 65 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Utah schools statewide, it ranks #48, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (93% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 13/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 433 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 34.9% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 27.3% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Salt Lake City's public schools, it stands alongside Brighton High (2,435 students): Dual Immersion Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (19.7:1 vs 27.1:1).
Dual Immersion Academy is a single-school charter district, so Dual Immersion Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
