Box Elder District

Box Elder District operates 23 schools serving 12,649 students in Box Elder County, Utah as a suburban district with a student-teacher ratio of approximately 22:1. The district's enrollment reflects Utah's demographic composition, with 82.8% White students, 13.5% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of Black and Asian students. Approximately 30.7% of students qualify as economically disadvantaged.

Academically, Box Elder District performs slightly above state averages in mathematics, with 43.1% of students meeting proficiency standards compared to Utah's 38.4% average. Reading proficiency stands at 42.3%, marginally below the state average of 42.8%. The district's graduation rate of 90.0% exceeds Utah's 87.7% state average by 2.3 percentage points.

Chronic absenteeism presents a notable challenge at 32.0%, indicating that nearly one-third of students miss substantial school time. This figure warrants attention as it may impact academic outcomes and student achievement trajectories.

Box Elder District's per-pupil spending of $6,498 exceeds the state average of $5,680 by approximately $818 per student, representing a 14.4% higher investment than the statewide average. This increased funding allocation may contribute to the district's above-average mathematics performance and graduation rate, though the chronic absenteeism rate suggests resource allocation alone does not address all district challenges.
