The schools Farr West
Three inside the line, one over it, and a boundary that moved
The schools in Farr West, Utah.
Farr West is in Weber School District, with two elementaries and Wahlquist Junior High inside the city line and Fremont High a few minutes over it in Plain City. The feeder chain most addresses follow is straightforward, but the district redrew its western boundaries when West Field High opened in 2024, so an old feeder list or an old enrollment figure can mislead. Here are the four schools, the chain, the numbers labeled as the federal count they are, and how to confirm the exact assignment for a specific address.
The short answer
Farr West is in Weber School District. Three public schools stand inside the city line, Farr West Elementary at 2190 W 2700 N and Silver Ridge Elementary at 3340 N 3050 W, both kindergarten through sixth grade, and Wahlquist Junior High at 2656 N 2400 W for grades seven through nine. The public high school, Fremont, sits just over the line in Plain City. Addresses here generally feed one of the two elementaries, then Wahlquist, then Fremont, but the district redrew its western boundaries when West Field High opened in Taylor in 2024, so an old feeder list may be wrong. Check the district boundary tool for a specific address. Checked August 2026.
The live question
Which high school do Farr West students go to, and did that change recently?
The high school is Fremont, and yes, the boundaries around it changed recently, which is the thing to know before you trust any feeder list you find. Fremont High sits just over the Farr West line in Plain City, at 1975 N 4700 W, and it has long been the high school for Farr West addresses. What changed is that West Field High opened in Taylor in the fall of 2024, and the district redrew the western Weber County attendance boundaries to fill it, which moved a large group of students out of Fremont.
That redraw is why the enrollment numbers in circulation are a trap. Before 2024, Fremont was one of the largest high schools in the area, with counts quoted well above two thousand, and it competed in the state's largest classification. After the split, the federal count for the 2024-25 school year puts Fremont at about 1,448, and the school moved down a classification. If you read an older figure of two thousand-plus, it predates West Field and no longer describes the school your child would attend.
The practical upshot is the same one that applies to any Utah city: the district, not the city and not a listing, decides which schools a specific address feeds, and it does so address by address. A feeder chain is a good general guide, and the one that fits these parcels is one of the two elementaries, then Wahlquist Junior High, then Fremont. But boundaries move, especially in a corner of the county that just gained a high school, so confirm the exact assignment for a specific home at the Weber School District boundary tool.
One more honest note on the numbers. The enrollment figures on this page are the federal count for the 2024-25 school year, which was the most recent one available when this page was built; the state's October 2025 count for these individual schools was not obtainable cleanly. So treat the counts as recent and sourced rather than as this week's roll, and take the current head count from the district if it matters to a decision. This site does not rate schools; GreatSchools and Niche do. Checked August 2026.
The four schools
Two elementaries and a junior high inside the line, and the high school a few minutes over it.
The public schools that serve Farr West addresses, with the grades, the address, and the enrollment as the federal count reports it. Three of the four sit on Farr West parcels; Fremont High sits on a Plain City parcel, which the city's own pages get right. No quality judgment appears here; for ratings, GreatSchools and Niche are the place, and the district boundary tool is the authority on which school a specific address feeds.
| School | Grades | Where | Enrollment (2024-25) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farr West Elementary | K to 6 | 2190 W 2700 N, on a Farr West parcel | About 704 |
| Silver Ridge Elementary | K to 6 | 3340 N 3050 W, Farr West; opened 2020 | About 602 |
| Wahlquist Junior High | 7 to 9 | 2656 N 2400 W, Farr West | About 1,033 |
| Fremont High | 10 to 12 | 1975 N 4700 W, on a Plain City parcel | About 1,448 |
Grades and addresses from the schools' own records; enrollment is the National Center for Education Statistics count for the 2024-25 school year, the most recent obtainable when this page was built. Parcel cities are from the Weber County parcel service. All four are in Weber School District. Enrollment shifts year to year, and the district redrew the western boundaries when West Field High opened in 2024, so take the current head count and the exact assignment from the district.
A school that mails one city and sits in another
Farr West Elementary is a small example of the same pattern the country store makes famous: its mailing address prints Ogden, and the county parcel record puts it on Farr West ground. It is a Farr West school in every sense that matters, on a Farr West parcel serving Farr West children, and the Ogden on the envelope is a postal artifact of the address grid. If you see the school listed with an Ogden address, that is the mail, not the city. The one that genuinely sits in another city is Fremont High, which is on Plain City ground, and the city's own pages say so.
The feeder chain
The path most Farr West addresses follow, and why you still have to check the exact one.
For a household with children, the useful thing is the chain, and the one that fits these parcels is straightforward: an elementary, either Farr West or Silver Ridge depending on where in the city you are, then Wahlquist Junior High for grades seven through nine, then Fremont High over the line in Plain City for grades ten through twelve. That is the ordinary path for a Farr West address, and it is a reasonable thing to plan around while you are house hunting.
The reason to check rather than assume is that Weber School District just moved its western boundaries. West Field High opened in Taylor in 2024 and pulled its enrollment from the schools around it, which is exactly the kind of change that can shift which high school, or even which elementary, a particular street feeds. A chain that was right two years ago may not be right for a specific address today, and the district updates the boundaries rather than the city.
So the move is simple and it is the same everywhere in Utah: find the exact address, put it into the Weber School District boundary tool, and read what it says rather than what a listing or an old article says. If you want a sense of how the schools are regarded, GreatSchools and Niche carry ratings and parent reviews; this site deliberately does not rate schools, because a fair-housing line and an honest one both say to describe the place and let you evaluate the rest.
Living with it
A compact set of schools in a district that redraws its lines as it grows.
The honest shape of schooling from a Farr West address is a short, compact set: two elementaries and a junior high within the city, and a high school a few minutes over the line, all in one district. For a small city, that is a complete local chain, and the buildings are close enough that the daily logistics are easy. The two elementaries hold more children between them than a city this size might suggest, which is a plain sign of how many young families filled its subdivisions through the 2000s and 2010s.
The thing to carry into a decision is that this is a growing corner of a growing county, and the district manages that growth by moving boundaries and building schools. Silver Ridge Elementary opened in 2020 and West Field High opened in 2024, both of which changed who goes where. That is not instability; it is a district keeping up, and it is exactly why the boundary tool matters more here than in a place where nothing has moved in a decade.
None of this is a judgment on the schools, which this site leaves to the ratings services and to parents. It is a map of where the buildings are and how the lines have moved, which is what a household relocating from out of state actually needs before it picks a street. The page on moving here carries the rest of the service map, and the district tool carries the exact assignment.
Do not trust an old Fremont enrollment figure or an old feeder list; both predate the 2024 boundary change. Before West Field High opened in Taylor in 2024, Fremont High was quoted at well over two thousand students and competed in the largest state classification. After the split, the federal count for 2024-25 puts it at about 1,448 and it dropped a classification. Any figure of two thousand-plus you find describes the pre-2024 school, not the one your child would attend. For the same reason, a feeder list from before the redraw may send a specific address to the wrong high school. Confirm the current enrollment and the exact assignment at the Weber School District, which redraws the lines and holds the boundary tool, rather than at a listing or an older article.
In a corner of the county that just gained a high school, the feeder chain is a guide and the district's boundary tool is the answer. Check the exact address before you fall for a street.

Three public schools sit inside the Farr West city line: Farr West Elementary at 2190 W 2700 N and Silver Ridge Elementary at 3340 N 3050 W, both kindergarten through sixth grade, and Wahlquist Junior High at 2656 N 2400 W for grades seven through nine. The public high school, Fremont, sits just over the line in Plain City at 1975 N 4700 W. All four are in Weber School District, which covers Weber County outside Ogden. This site does not rate schools; GreatSchools and Niche carry ratings, and the district holds the boundary tool that decides which school a specific address feeds.
Fremont High, which sits just over the Farr West line in Plain City at 1975 N 4700 W and has long served Farr West addresses. The important recent change is that West Field High opened in Taylor in 2024, and Weber School District redrew the western attendance boundaries to fill it, moving a large group of students out of Fremont. So while Fremont is the usual high school for Farr West, the district decides the exact assignment address by address, and a feeder list from before 2024 may be out of date. Confirm the current assignment at the Weber School District boundary tool.
The federal count for the 2024-25 school year puts Fremont at about 1,448 students, and the school dropped a classification after West Field High opened in 2024 and pulled enrollment away. Older figures of two thousand or more that still circulate describe the pre-2024 Fremont and no longer fit the school. That is the enrollment trap worth avoiding: a large old number is not wrong so much as stale. For the current head count, the Weber School District or the state's October count is the authority, and this page uses the most recent federal figure it could source.
It is in Plain City. The Weber County parcel record puts Fremont High at 1975 N 4700 W on Plain City ground, and the city's own pages describe it as physically in Plain City while serving Farr West addresses. Both facts are true at once: it is a Plain City school by parcel and the assigned high school for much of Farr West by boundary. This is the reverse of Farr West Elementary, which sits on a Farr West parcel while mailing an Ogden address. The lesson is the usual one here, that a mailing address is not a city line.
The chain most Farr West addresses follow is an elementary, either Farr West or Silver Ridge depending on where in the city you live, then Wahlquist Junior High for grades seven through nine, then Fremont High for grades ten through twelve. It is a reasonable thing to plan around, but it is a guide rather than a guarantee, because Weber School District redrew its western boundaries when West Field High opened in 2024. For a specific home, put the exact address into the district boundary tool and read what it says rather than trusting an older feeder list.
Silver Ridge Elementary, at 3340 N 3050 W in Farr West, opened in 2020, according to the city, and it is one of the two elementaries inside the city line alongside Farr West Elementary. Its opening is part of the same story as West Field High in 2024: a growing corner of Weber County adding schools to keep up with the subdivisions that filled in through the 2000s and 2010s. The district is the authority on its exact open date and its current boundary, so confirm both there if the timing matters to a decision about a specific address.
This site does not rate schools, and it does so on purpose. A fair-housing line and an honest one both point the same way: describe the place and let you evaluate the schools yourself with independent tools. GreatSchools and Niche carry ratings, test data and parent reviews for each of the four schools that serve Farr West, and they are the right place to form a view. What this page provides is the map, the grades, the enrollment as the federal count reports it, and the one thing that changed recently, so you know which schools to look up rather than how to judge them.
Because a mailing address follows the postal grid and a city line follows the parcel, and in this part of Weber County they do not match. Farr West Elementary sits on a Farr West parcel at 2190 W 2700 N, but its mail prints Ogden, the same way the Smith and Edwards store does. It is a Farr West school serving Farr West children, and the Ogden on the envelope is a postal artifact of Ogden's address grid running out through the cities northwest of it. When jurisdiction matters, the parcel is the authority and the mailing address is not.
Use the Weber School District boundary tool and enter the exact address. The district, not the city and not a real estate listing, decides which elementary, junior high and high school a specific home feeds, and it updates those boundaries as it builds schools and shifts enrollment. That matters more than usual in Farr West right now, because West Field High opened in 2024 and the district redrew the western lines. A feeder chain is a good general guide, but for a home you are serious about, confirm the assignment at the district before you rely on it.
The schools are a map, and the exact line is the district's to draw.
Schools are one of the first questions a household asks about Farr West, and the honest answer is a map plus a caution: two elementaries and a junior high inside the line, Fremont High just over it in Plain City, and a district that redrew its western boundaries in 2024 and will do it again as it grows. So the practical steps are to put the exact address into the Weber School District boundary tool rather than trusting a feeder list, to read the ratings on GreatSchools and Niche rather than a listing's adjectives, and to confirm the current enrollment at the district rather than an older article.
