Summary

South Ogden Junior High is a public school in Ogden, Utah, serving approximately 799 students in grades 7–9 in the Weber District. Its 2025–2026 statewide ranking is 172nd out of 217 Utah middle schools, placing it in the 21st percentile with a 1-star rating. Although this is below the state average, the school ranks better than several nearby options, including Roy Junior High, Sand Ridge Junior High, and T.H. Bell Junior High.

Academic results are mixed. Mathematics is the clearest concern: proficiency was 36.1% in seventh grade, 21.1% in eighth grade, and 23.9% in ninth grade, below both district and Utah averages at every grade. Still, these results generally exceed those of the three nearby Weber District schools listed above. Science is the school’s strongest area. Ninth-grade science proficiency reached 53.7%, above both the district and state averages and higher than the nearby comparison schools provided. Eighth-grade science was also solid at 46.7%, while seventh-grade science was considerably lower at 31.6%. Eighth-grade English language arts was another local bright spot, with 35.6% proficiency—about equal to the district average and higher than Roy Junior High, Sand Ridge Junior High, and T.H. Bell Junior High.

Attendance is an important concern. Chronic absenteeism was 30.0% in 2024–2025, higher than both the Weber District rate of 21.8% and Utah’s 23.8%, although it improved from 39.2% two years earlier. The student-teacher ratio was 21.4-to-1, moderate compared with nearby schools but higher than at Sand Ridge Junior High and T.H. Bell Junior High. Overall, families may see a school with meaningful local strengths—especially in upper-grade science—but with major opportunities to improve mathematics, attendance, and consistency across grades.
