Summary

Polk School is a K–6 elementary school in the Ogden area, serving 541 students at 2615 Polk Avenue as part of the Ogden City District. The school ranks 365th of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 35th statewide percentile with a two-star rating. Although this is below the state midpoint, Polk is currently the highest-ranked nearby school in its district and performs better than most local comparison schools.

English Language Arts is Polk’s clearest strength. In 2025–2026, the school exceeded district proficiency rates in every tested grade and matched or surpassed statewide results in grades 3–5. Fifth-grade ELA was especially strong at 55.6%, compared with 30.7% in the district and 45.9% statewide. Mathematics is more mixed: Polk outperformed its district in grades 3–5 but remained below the state in every grade. Sixth-grade math is the biggest concern, with just 18.0% proficiency—below the district, state, and nearby schools such as East Ridge Elementary School and Burch Creek School. Fifth-grade science was another bright spot, essentially matching the Utah rate at 52.1% and exceeding the district.

Polk’s chronic absenteeism rate improved from 39.8% in 2023–2024 to 31.6% in 2024–2025, giving it the third-lowest rate among nearby schools with reported data, though it remains above Utah’s 23.8%. The student-teacher ratio also improved to 21.6. Families should be aware that the school’s statewide ranking has fallen considerably from the 82nd–83rd percentile in 2016–2018, even though recent results have been relatively stable. Overall, Polk appears to be a relative local performer with strong literacy and fifth-grade results, while sixth-grade math, science in some grades, attendance, and long-term academic recovery remain important areas to watch.
