Summary

Mound Fort Junior High is a public middle school in Ogden, Utah, serving 592 students in grades 7-9. The school is part of the Ogden City School District, which is ranked 82 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Mound Fort Junior High has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Utah middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 168-197 out of 182-216 schools and a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mound Fort Junior High faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently lower standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 7th grade math proficiency rate was 17.3%, compared to the district's 25.3% and the state's 45.4%. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 45.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.91% to 97.61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.1 to 19.4 over the past few years, Mound Fort Junior High significantly underperforms compared to nearby schools, both within the Ogden City District and in the neighboring Weber District. For example, Mount Ogden Junior High and Wahlquist Junior High have much higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Addressing the root causes of Mound Fort Junior High's underperformance, such as high poverty rates and chronic absenteeism, will be crucial for improving student outcomes.
