Summary

Larsen School is a public elementary school in Spanish Fork, Utah, serving 431 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of the Nebo District. The school serves a community with relatively high economic need: 46.4% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Larsen received a two-star rating and ranked at the 35th percentile among Utah elementary schools in 2025–26, placing it below most nearby schools.

Larsen’s academic results are strongest in third grade. In 2025–26, 50.0% of third graders reached proficiency in English language arts and 55.3% did so in mathematics; third-grade ELA exceeded both district and state results, while math was above the state level. Performance dropped noticeably in fourth and fifth grades. Mathematics declined from 55.3% in third grade to 40.6% in fourth and 38.2% in fifth, a pattern that has continued across several years. Fourth- and fifth-grade science and fifth-grade ELA were also below district and state levels. By comparison, Maple Ridge School ranked at the 95th percentile, while East Meadows School ranked at the 83rd percentile. Larsen was slightly ahead of Brockbank School and Spanish Oaks School overall.

Attendance is a mixed but improving area. Chronic absenteeism fell from 29.6% in 2021–22 to 25.7% in 2024–25, better than the district’s 26.6% but above Utah’s 23.8%. Larsen’s 23:1 student–teacher ratio is somewhat higher than at several nearby schools, though it is not the highest in the comparison group. The clearest improvement opportunity is the transition from third to fourth grade, especially in mathematics, science, and reading. Reviewing curriculum alignment, upper-grade support, staffing, and attendance interventions could help Larsen build on its stronger third-grade foundation.
