SELF-REPORTED INDICATORS
Schools may choose to describe up to two additional pieces of information about how their school is supporting students. These self-reported indicators are not factored into school accountability calculations but provide the opportunity for schools to highlight successful programs or practices in addition to the indicators included in school accountability.
SCHOOL-LEVEL FACTORS

STUDENT FACTORS
School Culture and Student Recognition
OHS has a strong, supportive culture. OHS students have multiple opportunities to build connections with the school through a points system where students earn incentives for participating in school activities, meeting goals, and engaging in positive behaviors. OHS teachers show a focus on building connections with their students by greeting them at the door, setting goals, communicating with parents, and making efforts to get to know their students. As a result, students feel more connected to teachers and OHS. Universities and Scholarships recognize OHS students who have demonstrated achievement. The university entrance clearinghouse for English and Math success at university shows that OHS students perform 3% above the state average. OHS students show not only excellence in academics but also community engagement, time management, and study skills needed for college and career success. The information below from OHS 2024 seniors is an indicator of post-high school success. In 2023, Ogden High had an estimated 52% of seniors complete a FAFSA application.
