SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 217 Utah Middle Schools

Better than 8% of Utah middle schools

Summary

T.H. Bell Junior High is a public school serving grades 7–9 in Ogden, Utah, with 607 students. Located in the Weber District, it serves a relatively high-need student population, with 50.74% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Bell’s student-teacher ratio is 19.5 to 1. Its latest statewide ranking is 199th out of 217 Utah middle schools, placing it at the 8th percentile. That is an improvement from its 1st-percentile position in 2021–2022, but the school remains near the bottom statewide and among nearby comparison schools.

Academic performance is Bell’s biggest challenge. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were below the Weber District average in every reported subject and grade. The most persistent weakness is eighth-grade mathematics, where 15.6% of students were proficient, compared with 26.6% districtwide. Ninth-grade ELA and mathematics also remain particularly weak. Bell generally trails nearby Rocky Mountain Junior High, Mountain View Junior High, Roy Junior High, and South Ogden Junior High. It also usually trails North Davis Junior High, which has a similar level of economic need. However, Bell performs similarly to or better than Mound Fort Junior High in several subjects.

There are encouraging signs. Chronic absenteeism fell from 41.1% in 2022–2023 to 22.2% in 2024–2025, bringing Bell close to the district average and below the rates at South Ogden Junior High, North Davis Junior High, and Mound Fort Junior High. Grade 9 science has also improved substantially, rising to 36.2% proficiency in 2025–2026, while grade 7 mathematics and science gained ground. These trends suggest that progress is possible, but Bell needs sustained, schoolwide improvement—especially in eighth-grade mathematics, ninth-grade ELA and mathematics, and in turning better attendance into stronger academic results.
