Summary:
The 84404 zip code area in Utah is home to 26 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 6 high schools, and 4 alternative schools, spread across the Weber District and Ogden City District. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the top-performing and lowest-performing schools in the area, suggesting significant inequities in educational opportunities and resources.
Among the standout schools, Fremont High is ranked 42nd out of 138 Utah high schools and has a 4-star rating, performing above the district and state averages in test scores. Farr West School and Plain City School are also high-performing elementary schools, ranked 132nd and 77th out of 547 Utah elementary schools, respectively, and both have a 4-star rating. In contrast, schools like Ben Lomond High and Highland Junior High struggle significantly, with lower test scores and academic outcomes.
The data also reveals a correlation between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with schools serving higher-poverty populations tending to have lower test scores and other academic outcomes. Additionally, the Ogden City District, which serves several of the lower-performing schools, is ranked 82nd out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating, suggesting the district may be facing significant challenges in providing high-quality education to its students. However, the presence of several public charter schools, such as Ogden Preparatory Academy and Venture Academy, provides families with additional educational options beyond the traditional public school system.
