Summary

Larsen School is an elementary school located in Spanish Fork, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 380 students. It is part of the Nebo School District, which is ranked 50 out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Larsen School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking between 310-430 out of 547-572 schools over the past 10 years, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time period.

Larsen School faces several key challenges compared to nearby schools in the Nebo District. It has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 30.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores in RISE Mathematics, RISE Science, and RISE English Language Arts are generally below the Nebo District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Larsen School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 19.9% to 43.16% over the past few years, much higher than the 10.32% to 27.7% rates at nearby schools.

The data suggests that Larsen School may be facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed. Its relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 19 to 28.6 over the past few years, is higher than the nearby schools, which have ratios ranging from 17.7 to 24.4. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success at Larsen School.
