Summary

Rees School is an elementary school in Spanish Fork, Utah, serving 777 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Nebo School District, which is ranked 50 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rees School has faced some challenges compared to nearby schools. It has had relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 30.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in RISE assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are generally below the Nebo District and Utah state averages, though its 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 65.9% in 2021-2022, higher than the district and state. Rees School also has a higher percentage of low socioeconomic status students compared to other schools in the area.

When comparing Rees School to higher-performing nearby schools like Mapleton School, Canyon School, and Sierra Bonita Elementary, Rees School has lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Interestingly, Rees School's spending per student is higher than some of these higher-performing schools, suggesting that additional funding alone does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio may also be a contributing factor to its lower performance.
