Summary

Burch Creek School is a public elementary school in Ogden, Utah, serving 577 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in the Weber District. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 53.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its 2025–2026 statewide ranking was 417th out of 563 schools, placing it at the 26th percentile. That ranking has improved from recent years, but the school remains below the state midpoint. A major concern is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 30.8% in 2024–2025, higher than both the district and Utah overall.

Academic results are mixed but generally below district and state averages. Average proficiency was approximately 37.7% in English language arts, 35.4% in mathematics, and 37.1% in science. The greatest weaknesses are concentrated in grades 3–5, especially fourth-grade mathematics at 30.1%, fourth-grade science at 32.6%, and fifth-grade science at 30.3%. Sixth grade is a relative bright spot: 50.0% of students were proficient in ELA, exceeding both the district and state averages. Mathematics also improved notably in fifth and sixth grades compared with the prior year. These patterns suggest that some upper-grade practices may be worth extending to earlier grades.

Among nearby schools, Riverdale School is a stronger same-district comparison, ranking at the 39th percentile and reporting lower chronic absenteeism at 24.7%. Shadow Valley School, about 1.21 miles away, is a much higher-performing local benchmark, ranking at the 89th percentile with 20.5% chronic absenteeism, although its student population has a different economic profile. Burch Creek generally outperforms Roosevelt School and Washington Terrace School. Overall, the clearest opportunities are reducing absenteeism and strengthening grades 3–5 mathematics and science while building on sixth-grade ELA and recent upper-grade gains.
