We have had one child graduate from Ogden and is now preparing to finish his last year at a major 4-year University. The Ogden Community School District prepared our son to succeed at the college level. He was provided numerous opportunities to take college level courses while still in high school and took full advantage of these opportunities. His academic programs through high school were of high quality and definitely prepared him for his post-secondary course work. We also have a daughter that is currently a junior at Ogden High School. She is also being challenged to meet her academic needs beyond her high school years. She enjoys coming to school everyday and participates in every extra-curricular activity as time will allow. Great experiences at Ogden High School with our first two children and we still have one more to go. He can't wait!!!

Ogden offers a low quality of academic programs. There is not a lot of variety of classes to enroll in. There are also limited choices for extracurricular activities. Parents basically only help with fund raising and conflicts.
