What this school's NCES data tells you
Heritage School reports 647 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 32.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 19.9:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 14% below the Utah state mean of 23.1:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 25% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 99.7% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 256% above the Utah average and 92% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 647 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 64.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Ogden City District spends $15,547 per pupil district-wide, above the Utah average of $12,354 and below the national average of $19,490.

Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 13/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
