Summary

Cherry Creek School is a public elementary school in Springville serving 455 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade, part of the Nebo District and located near several other elementary-school options. The school’s current performance is slightly above the statewide midpoint: it ranks 264th of 563 Utah schools, at the 53rd percentile, with a three-star rating. This represents substantial progress from 407th of 561 schools and the 27th percentile in 2022–2023. Cherry Creek is now ranked above Brookside School, Westside School, Meadow Brook School, and Rees School.

Academic results are uneven by grade. Third grade is a clear strength, with 63% proficient in English language arts and 59.4% in mathematics—both above district and state results. Fifth-grade mathematics was also solid at 52.2%, and fifth-grade science reached 53.6%. Fourth grade is the main concern: proficiency was 41.2% in both English language arts and mathematics and 43.2% in science, below district and state comparisons. Fourth-grade mathematics and science were particularly weak compared with nearby schools. In contrast, Cherry Creek’s third-grade results were competitive with most local options, exceeded only by top performers such as Maple Ridge School in several comparisons.

Cherry Creek serves a higher-need student population than the nearby schools reviewed, with 49.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. That context makes its improvement and its ranking above several nearby schools especially notable. However, leading local schools—including Hobble Creek School, Sage Creek School, Mapleton School, Reagan Academy, and Maple Ridge—remain substantially ahead overall. Chronic absenteeism improved to 27.1% but remains above the state and district rates. Overall, Cherry Creek appears to be on a positive trajectory, with fourth-grade instruction and attendance standing out as the most important opportunities for continued improvement.

This school district is open enrollment...CHOOSE A DIFFERENT SCHOOL. We have had nothing but problems with the teachers and beyond at this school. Our children are well-behaved, and fare very well academically. Teachers here just don't care, and there isn't enough done to ensure teachers are doing what they are supposed to be doing.
