Summary

Park School is an elementary school located in Spanish Fork, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 435 students. It is part of the Nebo School District, which is ranked 50 out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Park School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking between 303 and 497 over the past 10 years, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Park School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.8% to 32.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in RISE/Mathematics, RISE/Science, and RISE/English Language Arts are consistently lower than the Nebo District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Park School's 3rd grade math proficiency was 47.2% compared to the district's 51.2% and the state's 48.6%. Additionally, Park School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.01% to 59.77% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

However, despite these challenges, Park School ranks 14 out of 109 Utah elementary schools for low socioeconomic status students in the 2024-2025 school year, indicating that the school is doing a relatively good job of supporting its economically disadvantaged students. Nearby schools, such as East Meadows School and Maple Ridge School, have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Park School, suggesting that the school may benefit from learning best practices from these higher-performing schools. By addressing the key areas of concern, such as attendance, academic support, and resource allocation, Park School has the potential to improve its overall performance and better serve its student population.
