The free-lunch share is 54% above the Utah average and 17% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 1398 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 21.5% 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.
