Summary

Rees School is a public pre-kindergarten–sixth-grade elementary school in Spanish Fork, Utah, serving 728 students in a relatively large, economically diverse school community within Nebo District. The school’s 21.8:1 student-teacher ratio has improved from 24.1:1 in 2022–23, and its statewide ranking has risen from the 36th percentile in 2023–24 to the 47th percentile in 2025–26. Rees is a middle-performing school locally: it ranks above Riverview School, Park School, Larsen School, Brockbank School, and Spanish Oaks School, but trails Maple Ridge School, East Meadows School, Sierra Bonita Elementary, Canyon School, and Mapleton School.

Academically, Rees shows a mix of strengths and challenges rather than uniformly low performance. Third-grade mathematics is a standout, with 67.3% of students proficient—above both the district’s 57.9% and Utah’s 50.1%. Fourth-grade mathematics, third-grade ELA, and fourth-grade ELA are also slightly above district and state results. The clearest concern is fifth grade, where proficiency is 33.7% in ELA, 37.4% in mathematics, and 40.2% in science—all below district and state levels. Science is a broader improvement area: Rees trails the district and state in both fourth and fifth grades. Still, fourth-grade science has improved substantially, from 28.7% in 2023–24 to 48.7% in 2025–26.

Attendance is another important consideration. Rees’s chronic absenteeism rate was 27.8% in 2024–25, higher than the Nebo District rate of 26.6% and Utah’s 23.8%, although it has improved from 29.8% in 2022–23. About 29.26% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, a higher share than at most of the higher-ranked nearby schools; notably, Rees ranked at the 72nd percentile statewide for serving students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Overall, Rees appears to be improving and has effective pockets of instruction, especially in early-grade mathematics, but families should pay particular attention to the school’s plans for fifth-grade achievement, science instruction, and attendance.
