Summary

Spring Lake School is a public elementary school in Payson, Utah, serving 531 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade. It is part of Nebo District, which ranks around the 47th percentile statewide. Spring Lake currently ranks 160th of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 72nd percentile and earning four stars for 2025–2026. That is the strongest current statewide ranking among the nearby schools listed, although Park View School is a very close peer at the 70th percentile.

The school’s recent academic results are a major strength. In 2025–2026, Spring Lake exceeded state and district averages in every tested math and science grade. Its strongest results included 59.0% proficiency in Grade 5 math, compared with 45.0% statewide, and 65.0% proficiency in Grade 4 science, compared with 52.6% statewide. Spring Lake also had the highest Grade 4 and Grade 5 ELA results among the nearby schools listed, at 55.4% and 53.0%. Park View School was stronger in some Grade 3 and Grade 4 math measures, but Spring Lake led the local group in Grade 5 math and science. Families should note that Grade 3 ELA, at 46.3%, was slightly below both the district and state.

Spring Lake’s statewide ranking has risen from the 35th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 72nd percentile today, following especially large gains in Grades 4 and 5 math. Attendance has improved as well: chronic absenteeism fell from 32.3% in 2020–2021 to 22.8% in 2024–2025, lower than every nearby school except Park View School. The student-teacher ratio also improved to 22.5:1, while 27.68% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch—moderate compared with the surrounding group. The main questions to monitor are whether the academic rebound continues and whether Grade 3 ELA improves further.
