Summary

Polk School is an elementary school in Ogden, Utah, serving 527 students in grades K-6. Despite consistently outperforming the Ogden City District and the state average in academic proficiency, Polk School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 91st out of 528 Utah elementary schools in 2017-2018 to its current rank of 336 out of 547 in 2024-2025.

Polk School's strong academic performance is evident in its test scores, with 47.8% of 3rd graders proficient or better in RISE Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to 35.7% in the Ogden City District and 48.6% statewide. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 39.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Polk School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, such as East Ridge Elementary and Wasatch School, Polk School generally outperforms them in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics and science. However, these nearby schools have lower chronic absenteeism rates and student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their students' success. By addressing these areas, Polk School could potentially improve its overall performance and better support its students' success.
