Summary:
Logan, Utah, has 14 schools serving about 7,075 students from elementary through high school, with nine elementary schools, one middle school, and four high schools. The schools operate across the Logan City District, Cache District, and several charter or independent organizations. Performance varies widely: Edith Bowen Laboratory School ranks among Utah’s very best elementary schools, while InTech Collegiate Academy is one of the state’s strongest secondary schools. Parents should compare individual schools rather than rely on citywide averages.
Edith Bowen Laboratory School is the leading elementary option, with a 99th-percentile ranking, very strong reading, math, and science results, the lowest student-teacher ratio in the group, and relatively low absenteeism. River Heights School is the strongest traditional public elementary school, ranking in the 87th percentile and performing above state averages in most grades, although sixth-grade results are weaker. Within the Logan City District, Hillcrest School currently leads elementary schools, while Adams School and Wilson School show strengths in selected subjects despite inconsistent rankings and high absenteeism.
Attendance is the most widespread concern: the average chronic absenteeism rate is about 39%, compared with 23.8% statewide. InTech Collegiate Academy has the lowest rate at 4.1%, while Mount Logan Middle, Ellis School, Bridger School, and Fast Forward High face especially serious challenges. Mount Logan Middle is particularly concerning in sixth-grade math. Logan High has weak tested proficiency but a strong 92.4% graduation rate, showing that graduation and test performance measure different outcomes. Overall, parents may want to weigh academic results, attendance, school setting, and available supports together.
