Summary

Sierra Bonita Elementary is a public elementary school in Spanish Fork, Utah, serving 593 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Nebo School District. This high-performing school consistently ranks in the top 25% of Utah elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sierra Bonita's academic performance is exceptional, with proficiency rates in RISE assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts significantly higher than the Nebo District and Utah state averages across multiple grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 73.1%, compared to 51.2% for the Nebo District and 48.6% for the state. However, the school has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 23.8% to 30.5% over the past few years, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Maple Ridge School is the only one that outperforms Sierra Bonita Elementary in academic proficiency. Schools like Mapleton, East Meadows, and Canyon have strong academic performance as well, but still lag behind Sierra Bonita in several subject areas. The nearby schools with the lowest academic proficiency rates are Brockbank, Spanish Oaks, and Park, which have significantly lower scores compared to Sierra Bonita.
