How Maria Montessori Academy compares with Utah and U.S. medians
What stands out at Maria Montessori Academy
Maria Montessori Academy is a lower-poverty, mid-sized charter combined-grade school in Ogden, Utah, enrolling 402 students.
At 22.3:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the Utah median, within a few percentage points of the 21.4:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
Economic need runs somewhat below the state's typical profile, with 17.9% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 402 puts it in the smaller third of Utah schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 91% of the 1,065 Utah schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 234 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Utah schools statewide, it ranks #208, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by White (67%) and Hispanic or Latino (25%) (diversity index 48/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 60.0% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
The surrounding Maria Montessori Academy spends $7,681 per pupil, 22% below the Utah average, a leaner-resourced district than most.
Among Ogden's public schools, it stands alongside North Region Blind (18 students): Maria Montessori Academy is larger than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (22.3:1 vs 2.3:1).
Maria Montessori Academy is a single-school charter district, so Maria Montessori Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
