Fast Forward High

Fast Forward High is the only public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Logan, Utah, with a total enrollment of 417 students. The school faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance and high poverty rates among its diverse student population.

Fast Forward High's test scores are well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Science for 9th and 10th grade students. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 28.1% of 10th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 44.6%. In Science, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 13.2% of 10th graders and 12.5% of 9th graders meeting or exceeding the standard, compared to the state averages of 33.8% and 41.9%, respectively. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past three years, from 131st out of 131 Utah high schools in 2021-2022 to 135th out of 138 in 2023-2024.

The combination of low test scores, high free and reduced lunch rates (33.57% in 2022-2023), and a relatively high student-teacher ratio (30.2 in 2022-2023) suggests that Fast Forward High faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these issues should be a top priority for the school and the Fast Forward High district.
