Summary

East Meadows School is an elementary school in Spanish Fork, Utah, serving 544 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Nebo School District. Over the past 10 years, East Meadows has consistently ranked in the top half of Utah elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2020-2021 school year.

East Meadows School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the Nebo District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 72.3% of 3rd graders at East Meadows were proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to 51.2% in the Nebo District and 48.6% statewide. However, the school has faced challenges with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.2% to 30.5% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at East Meadows has increased from 10.03% in 2021-2022 to 19.67% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Nebo District, East Meadows School stands out as a high-performing school, with significantly higher proficiency rates in RISE Mathematics and Science compared to nearby schools like Riverview, Brockbank, and Park. The school's staffing and resource allocation, with a decreasing student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending compared to some nearby schools, may be contributing factors to its academic success.
