Summary:
The Ogden City District in Utah is home to four high schools that serve students in grades 9-12. The data reveals a concerning trend of consistently low academic performance across the district, with all four schools ranking in the bottom half of Utah high schools based on statewide rankings.
Among the standout schools, Malan's Peak Secondary has the smallest enrollment with only 45 students and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 3.8, suggesting more individualized attention. However, it also has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 64.44%, indicating a high-need student population. George Washington High has the second-smallest enrollment with 200 students and the highest spending per student at $12,136, but it has consistently been among the lowest-ranked high schools in the state.
Across the district, the four high schools share several key metrics, including an 88.8% four-year graduation rate, a 9.4% dropout rate, and high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.8% to 23.8%. Additionally, the test scores for all four schools are significantly lower than the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients ranges from 51.66% at Ogden High to 64.44% at Malan's Peak Secondary, indicating a high-need student population across the district. These findings suggest that the Ogden City District may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for its students.
