Original Research by School Decision on Green Acres School
Green Acres School serves kindergarten through sixth grade in Ogden, part of the Weber District. It is an open-enrollment public school, not a charter or magnet. Enrollment places it at a size that is common for an elementary school serving this grade band. The student body is predominantly white, with a Hispanic population that constitutes a meaningful share; other racial and ethnic groups are present in very small numbers. A notable portion of students come from households with economic need, as measured by eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch.
On state assessments for math, English language arts, and science, roughly half of Green Acres students score at or above the proficient mark in each subject. The math and science results are a bit stronger than the ELA result, though in each case about half of students are meeting the proficiency benchmark. When the school’s overall performance across subjects and grades is compared against other districts in Weber County, it lands in the top quartile. That places Green Acres among the stronger performers relative to its county peers. Readers should note that the state assessment framework underwent a cut-score change for ELA in a recent year, which may affect year-to-year comparability; the reported result is from a year before that change.
Because the school serves only elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report. Data on special education identification and English learner status were not provided. Similarly, information on chronic absenteeism, discipline, staffing, and course access is absent from the available record. A parent wanting to understand support for students with disabilities or English language development would need to follow up directly with the school or district.
The school sits in Ogden, a city that serves as an economic hub for northern Utah with a mix of government offices, a revitalized downtown, and industry clusters in outdoor recreation, IT, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing. Major employers include the IRS, McKay Dee Hospital, and Weber State University. Housing in the surrounding area is valued above the national typical level, and the cost of a home is considerable relative to median incomes—making it a pricier market for families. Rents also run above national averages. The city has seen significant revitalization and economic momentum, and the local housing market reflects that demand.
Green Acres School’s academic results, while placing it favorably within the county, still leave room for improvement in the share of students reaching proficiency. For a family considering this school, the combination of a top-quartile county position with roughly half of students hitting the proficiency mark suggests a solid but not elite academic environment. The school’s size and demographics are typical of many suburban-oriented elementaries in the region. Missing data on special populations and discipline means a fuller picture of the school’s student support environment is unavailable from public sources at this time.
