Summary

Wasatch School is a public kindergarten-through-sixth-grade school in Ogden, Utah, serving 357 students in the Ogden City District. Located on Polk Avenue, it serves an urban community and is near several schools with widely varying academic results. In 2025–2026, Wasatch ranked 442nd of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 21st percentile and earning a one-star SchoolDigger rating.

The school’s recent academic record shows a sharp decline from its earlier standing. Wasatch ranked in the 79th percentile in 2021–2022 and the 87th percentile in 2020–2021, but its latest results are much weaker. Average proficiency across tested grades was approximately 31% in English Language Arts, 31% in mathematics, and 34% in science. Fifth grade was the clearest area of concern, with 17.7% proficient in ELA, 15.6% in math, and 24.0% in science. Sixth grade was considerably stronger, including 42.4% in ELA and 49.1% in science. Mathematics was a relative strength compared with the district overall, especially in third and sixth grade, though Wasatch remained below Utah averages in most subjects.

Wasatch is not the lowest-performing nearby school. It generally outperformed Odyssey School and New Bridge School, and was broadly similar to Liberty Elementary School. However, it trailed Polk School and was far behind nearby Shadow Valley School, which ranked in the 89th percentile. Chronic absenteeism improved from 50.7% in 2021–2022 to 36.9% in 2024–2025, but remains high compared with Utah’s 23.8% rate. Parents may want to pay particular attention to attendance supports, fifth-grade instruction, and plans to rebuild the school’s earlier academic momentum.
