We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Ogden International is a small campus High school that has many different and unique students. In my experience Ogden is not a bad school it's just the community of faculty and students that make the environment bad. There isn't much going on at the school but there are a lot of clubs and sports but the students don't take the sports seriously. Some of the teachers are not good teachers and sometimes refuse to give students the help they need.

The administration sends their kids to private schools. They would not want their own children to be treated as they treat other people's children. What more do you need to know?

Terrible. Principal and his staff are busy looking after their own interests and have created a toxic atmosphere at the school. Many parents who helped support the school have left and the school is going downhill every year.
