Summary:
Springville, Utah, has 12 schools serving about 8,138 students from preschool through grade 12, including seven elementary schools, two middle schools, two high schools, and one alternative school. Most schools are part of Nebo District, while Reagan Academy and Merit College Preparatory Academy are separate organizations. Overall performance varies considerably, with strong academic results at several schools but widespread attendance concerns.
Reagan Academy is the strongest overall performer, ranking in the 79th statewide percentile and earning four stars. It combines high achievement in English, mathematics, and science with the city’s lowest chronic absenteeism rate, 17.3%. Sage Creek School is another standout, ranking in the 73rd percentile and improving substantially in recent years; its third-grade math proficiency reached 81.3%. Among secondary schools, Springville High has the strongest completion outcomes, with a 95.7% graduation rate and a 3.7% dropout rate. Spring Canyon Middle ranks well above Springville Junior High and shows particular strength in science.
Merit College Preparatory Academy recorded the largest ranking improvement, rising from the 23rd to the 73rd percentile, although its 49.9% chronic absenteeism rate is the highest in the area. Art City School has the best attendance among traditional Nebo District schools, while Meadow Brook School, Westside School, and Brookside School have lower current rankings and need the most academic attention. Mathematics is a recurring weakness, especially in upper elementary and middle grades. Since 10 of the 12 schools exceed the statewide chronic absenteeism rate, attendance is an important issue across Springville, even at schools with strong test scores or graduation results.
