Ben Lomond High

Summary:

Ben Lomond High is a public high school in Ogden, Utah, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 1,169 students. The school is part of the Ogden City School District, which is ranked 83 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ben Lomond High consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Utah, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science well below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.3% of 10th-grade students were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 44.6%. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 43.8% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 19.49% to 96.64% free/reduced lunch recipients.

While some nearby schools, such as Bonneville High and Ogden High, also struggle with low academic performance, others, like the North Utah Academy of Math, Engineering, and Science, demonstrate that high-quality public education is possible even in the same geographic area. This suggests that factors beyond just demographics and district-level support may be contributing to the challenges at Ben Lomond High.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Worst place I have worked in 25 years of education experience. 1st period started with about 5 of 30 students present in class. This was typical of the whole school. Terrible administration. No consequences. Kids run the school. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
