Summary:
ZIP code 84401 has two high schools serving grades 7–12: West Field High School, which serves grades 10–12, and George Washington High, which serves grades 7–12. Together, they enroll about 1,538 students in an area where the schools differ considerably in size, student needs, attendance, and academic outcomes.
West Field High School is the stronger overall performer in the available data. It enrolls 1,257 students and reports a 94.8% graduation rate, a 3.4% dropout rate, and 15.6% chronic absenteeism—better than both the Weber District and state comparison rates on these measures. Its English language arts and science results are near or above state averages. Mathematics is the main weakness: 21.2% of 10th-grade students are proficient, compared with 29.4% statewide. The school also reports a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch than George Washington High, indicating that the two schools serve different student populations.
George Washington High is much smaller, with 281 students, and has a higher reported level of economic need. Its 87.4% graduation rate is above the Ogden City District rate but below the state rate, while its 9.2% dropout rate is above the state figure. The most significant concern is chronic absenteeism at 74.3%, far above district, state, and West Field rates. School-level test scores were not provided, so district results should not be treated as exact school results. Overall, parents may view West Field as the stronger choice by reported outcomes, while George Washington’s key priority is improving attendance and supporting students facing significant barriers.
