Summary

Ben Lomond High is a public high school serving grades 10-12 in the Ogden City School District, with 1,338 students. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Utah high schools over the past 10 years. Ben Lomond High's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below average, with only 36.3% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 15.3% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 51.8% and 29%, respectively.

The school also faces challenges with high dropout rates, ranging from 9.4% to 11.1% in recent years, and chronic absenteeism as high as 55.8% in 2023-2024. These issues likely contribute to the school's overall academic underperformance. Ben Lomond High serves a disadvantaged student population, with 60.84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. While the nearby Ogden High and George Washington High schools within the same district are also struggling, the Weber Innovation High School in the neighboring Weber District has significantly outperformed Ben Lomond High and the Ogden City District on test scores and statewide rankings.

Addressing the issues at Ben Lomond High, such as chronic absenteeism, dropout rates, and supporting disadvantaged students, should be a priority for the school and district leadership. The challenges faced by Ben Lomond High appear to be systemic within the Ogden City School District, and a different approach or model, as seen at the nearby Weber Innovation High School, may be more effective in supporting student achievement.

Open Quote Worst place I have worked in 25 years of education experience. 1st period started with about 5 of 30 students present in class. This was typical of the whole school. Terrible administration. No consequences. Kids run the school. Close Quote
