Summary

Sierra Bonita Elementary is a PK–6 public school in Spanish Fork, Utah, serving 568 students in the Nebo District. Located near several other elementary schools, it ranks 130th of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 77th percentile and earning four stars. The school has remained in roughly the 77th–80th percentile in recent years, although its ranking declined from 107th in 2024–2025.

Academically, Sierra Bonita is one of the stronger schools in its local comparison group. Mathematics and science are its clearest strengths: in 2025–2026, proficiency reached 73.7% in third-grade math, 68.0% in fourth-grade math, 64.7% in fourth-grade science, and 66.4% in fifth-grade science. These results were above both district and state levels. English Language Arts was also above state and district results in every tested grade, though fourth-grade ELA and fifth-grade math were less impressive than the school’s other results. Sierra Bonita generally outperformed nearby Larsen School and Rees School, both located less than a mile away. Only Maple Ridge School and East Meadows School ranked higher among the listed nearby schools.

Families should also consider attendance and classroom context. Chronic absenteeism was 29.5% in 2024–2025—better than some nearby schools but higher than the district and Utah rates and higher than several top local performers. The student-teacher ratio was 23.0, which is somewhat higher than at East Meadows and several other nearby schools. About 16.02% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, a relatively low rate compared with many surrounding schools. Overall, Sierra Bonita offers consistently strong achievement, especially in math and science, while attendance, fifth-grade math, and the recent ranking decline are the main areas to monitor.
