Summary

Ogden Preparatory Academy is a public charter school serving 1,012 students in grades PK-9 in Ogden, Utah. The school has a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, with 55.75% to 69.27% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years.

Ogden Preparatory Academy faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 37.9%, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in math ranged from 6.9% to 17.3%, compared to the state average of 36.4% to 49.6%. Similar gaps are seen in English Language Arts and Science. In contrast, Quest Academy, a nearby charter school, has much higher proficiency rates in math (ranging from 39% to 69.7%) and science (ranging from 53.1% to 68.5%).

The high chronic absenteeism and low test scores at Ogden Preparatory Academy suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in engaging and supporting its student population. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.4 to 19.6, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's unique student population and the barriers they may face could be contributing factors, and there may be opportunities to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for the students at Ogden Preparatory Academy.
