Description:

Last Update: August 2020

This dataset contains point locations for preschool and K-12 schools in the state of Utah -- updated for the 2019-2020 school year. Higher education and adult vocational training are not included in the dataset.

The Schools Pre K to 12 dataset was built in collaboration with Wasatch Front Regional Council(WFRC), the Utah State Board of Education(USBE), and the Automated Geographic Reference Center(AGRC). The dataset includes public and private K-12 school locations with enrollment and demographics info by grade for public schools (charter and traditional) reported to the USBE. While some preschools are included, this is not a comprehensive statewide dataset for preschools.

Schools marked as 'closed' have not been included in this data. More information regarding schools in Utah can be found on the Utah State Board of Education website.

The Schools Pre K to 12 will be updated annually in conjunction with USBE’s annual report cycle.

Methodology

Tabular Data

The tabular portion of the data was downloaded from USBE's data page. The list of fields and the data in this dataset were generated by joining the following USBE reports.

Geographic Data

Point locations (geometry) were generated from USBE's school list using the AGRC Geocoding Web APIwhich utilizes address point and street centerline reference data. These were then compared to the previous 2016-2017 school layer’s locations with the best position chosen. Unmatched addresses were hand placed with assistance from publicly available, commercial mapping and search web apps.
