The school 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. Unfortunately, T.H.

Academically, T.H. Bell Junior High significantly underperforms compared to state and district averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were much lower than the state and Weber District in RISE Math, RISE Science, and Utah Aspire Plus ELA, Math, and Science.
