What this school's NCES data tells you
Moroni School reports 363 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 15.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 24.7:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 7% 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 55% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 48.4% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 73% above the Utah average and 7% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 908 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 6.1% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding North Sanpete District spends $11,645 per pupil district-wide, below the Utah average of $12,354 and below the national average of $19,490.
