Summary

Mound Fort Junior High is a public school in Ogden, Utah, serving 561 students in grades 7–9 within the Ogden City District. The school serves an area with significant economic challenges, reflected in its 75.58% free/reduced-price lunch rate. Academically, Mound Fort ranks 201st of 217 Utah middle schools, placing it in the 7th percentile with a 0-star rating. Its 2025–26 proficiency averages are about 26.5%, compared with approximately 32.0% across the district and 45.6% statewide.

Mathematics is the clearest area for improvement: proficiency was 20.8% in grade 7, 18.0% in grade 8, and 22.9% in grade 9. Science is a relative strength, exceeding the district average in grades 8 and 9, while ninth-grade English Language Arts reached 35.4%, also above the district average. Mound Fort generally outperforms nearby Highland Junior High, but trails same-district Mount Ogden Junior High across all nine reported subject-grade measures. The comparison with Mount Ogden is especially notable because Mount Ogden’s chronic absenteeism rate is 32.0%, compared with 47.2% at Mound Fort.

Attendance is one of the school’s most urgent challenges: nearly half of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, compared with 40.0% in the district and 23.8% statewide. On the positive side, Mound Fort has the lowest reported student-teacher ratio among nearby schools, at 16.9, and its English Language Learner subgroup ranked in the 48th statewide percentile. Ninth-grade ELA and science also stand out as areas of progress. Overall, families should view Mound Fort as a school with substantial academic and attendance needs, but also with identifiable strengths that could support improvement—particularly its staffing level, ELL supports, science performance, and stronger ninth-grade results.
