Summary

Westside School is a public elementary school in Springville serving 640 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of Nebo District. Located near the center of the community, it is one of the larger nearby elementary schools. Westside received a 2-star rating for 2025–2026 and ranked in the 36th percentile statewide, placing it in the lower-middle range among Utah schools. The student-teacher ratio was 24.8 to 1 in 2024–2025—the highest among the nearby schools reviewed. About 37.19% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism was 26.2%, slightly below the district rate but above Utah’s 23.8% average.

Academic performance is mixed. In 2025–2026, proficiency averaged approximately 41.1% in English language arts, 43.0% in mathematics, and 45.3% in science across the tested grades, generally below Nebo District results. Relative strengths were third-grade math, at 50.6%, nearly matching the state, and fourth-grade science, at 55.4%, above both district and state results. Fifth grade is the clearest concern: proficiency was 35.3% in ELA, 31.5% in math, and 35.2% in science. These results point to a broad fifth-grade challenge rather than a weakness in just one subject.

Westside has improved from its 24th-percentile ranking in 2021–2022, and absenteeism has declined substantially from 37.1% over the same period. However, it still trails stronger nearby schools such as Maple Ridge School, Sage Creek School, and Mapleton School; nearby Reagan Academy also ranks substantially higher. Westside is closer to Meadow Brook School and Brookside School. Key improvement priorities include fifth-grade instruction, support for economically disadvantaged students, continued attendance efforts, and examining staffing capacity.
