Summary

Shadow Valley School is a public K–6 elementary school in Ogden, Utah, serving 594 students in an area with several nearby elementary schools and operating within the comparatively low-ranked Ogden City District.

Despite the district’s 81st-place ranking among Utah districts, Shadow Valley School ranks 60th out of 563 schools statewide, placing it in the 89th percentile. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were well above district and state averages: 60.4% in English language arts, 69.6% in mathematics, and 76.6% in science. Fourth grade was a standout, with 78.1% proficient in English language arts, 74.7% in mathematics, and 89.0% in science. The school also performs far better than nearby schools. For example, its lowest reported mathematics result, 57.9%, exceeded the highest reported result at Odyssey School, Wasatch School, Liberty Elementary School, Uintah School, and Burch Creek School.

The school’s strong results have been sustained over time, with statewide rankings generally in the top fifth or better since 2020. Attendance is another positive: chronic absenteeism was 20.5% in 2024–25, below both the district’s 40.0% and Utah’s 23.8%, and substantially lower than rates at most nearby traditional schools. Mathematics has improved notably, while fifth-grade English language arts and mathematics are the main areas to monitor. The school’s 22.8 student-teacher ratio is somewhat higher than at many nearby schools, suggesting that smaller classes alone do not explain its performance. Its lower free/reduced-price lunch participation than most surrounding schools provides important context when comparing test results, though the school remains a clear academic outlier locally.
