Summary:
Edith Bowen Laboratory School is the only school in this area, serving about 359 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Logan, Utah. It is an elementary school with a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1 and a strong statewide reputation, ranking sixth out of 563 Utah schools in 2025–2026 and remaining at the 98th or 99th percentile for three consecutive years.
For parents, the most important takeaway is that academic performance is consistently much higher than Utah averages. In 2025–2026, the school’s proficiency rates averaged about 81% in English Language Arts, 78% in mathematics, and 85% in science, compared with state averages of roughly 46%, 46%, and 54%. Fifth grade was the strongest overall, including 92.3% proficiency in science, 88.5% in English Language Arts, and 86.6% in mathematics. Fourth grade also performed very well, particularly in science and mathematics. The school’s results exceeded state averages in every reported subject and grade.
The main area parents may want to examine more closely is sixth grade. Its proficiency rates were lower than the school’s other grades in English Language Arts, mathematics, and science, with mathematics at 60.8%. Sixth-grade mathematics declined from the prior year, while science fell from 86.8% to 76.5%; nevertheless, both remained above Utah averages. Overall mathematics improved because grades 3 through 5 made strong gains. Chronic absenteeism was 22.8%, slightly better than the statewide rate of 23.8%, though still worth monitoring. The school’s historical spending figure of $11,659 per student is from 2018–2019 and may not reflect current resources.
