Summary

Bates School is an elementary school in Ogden, Utah, serving 685 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Weber District, which is ranked 63 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bates School generally performs above the district and state averages in mathematics and science proficiency, with 62.7% of 3rd graders proficient in math and 53.1% of 6th graders proficient in science, compared to 44.5% and 49.7% for the district, respectively. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the upper grades. Bates School also experiences high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.2% to 29.1%, which is significantly higher than the state's target of 15% or less.

Compared to nearby schools like Farr West School and Lomond View School, both within the Weber District, Bates School consistently underperforms in academic proficiency, especially in mathematics and science. To address these challenges, Bates School could consider implementing targeted interventions to improve ELA proficiency, investigating the root causes of high chronic absenteeism, and exploring opportunities to collaborate with higher-performing nearby schools.
