What this school's NCES data tells you
Mcpolin School reports 382 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 30.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 13.4:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 42% 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 16% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 25.8% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 8% below the Utah average and 50% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 382 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 29.6% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Park City District spends $18,214 per pupil district-wide, above the Utah average of $12,354 and below the national average of $19,490.
