What this school's NCES data tells you

That figure sits 4% 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 52% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 22.2% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 21% below the Utah average and 57% below the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 49.4% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Murray District spends $11,255 per pupil district-wide, below the Utah average of $12,354 and below the national average of $19,490.
