What this school's NCES data tells you
Rose Creek School reports 649 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 36.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 21:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 9% 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 32% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 11.6% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 59% below the Utah average and 78% below the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 41.9% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Jordan District spends $9,748 per pupil district-wide, below the Utah average of $12,354 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 36.2% from local sources (property taxes), 52.3% from the state, and 11.5% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 15/100 (F), calculated from 3 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
