Summary

Diamond Fork Middle is a public school in Spanish Fork, Utah, serving 1,074 students in grades 6–8 as part of Nebo District, in a relatively large and competitive local middle-school area.

Diamond Fork currently ranks 147th of 217 Utah middle schools, placing it in the 32nd percentile with a 2-star rating. Its ranking has declined from the 55th percentile in 2022–2023. Current RISE results average about 39.9% proficient across six tested grade-subject areas, below both the district and state averages. English language arts is a particular concern: proficiency is 34.3% in sixth grade and 35.5% in seventh grade. Seventh-grade mathematics and science are also below district and state levels, while sixth-grade math is a relative strength at 33.5%, above the district’s 30.2%. Science is Diamond Fork’s strongest subject internally, especially in sixth grade at 53.3%, although it still trails district and state results.

Compared with nearby schools, Diamond Fork performs below Maple Grove Middle, Spring Canyon Middle, and Valley View Middle in most comparable subjects, but ranks above Mt. Nebo Middle, Spanish Fork Junior High, and Payson Junior High. Chronic absenteeism is a major issue: 35.5% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, compared with 26.6% districtwide and 23.8% statewide. A notable bright spot is the school’s low socioeconomic status subgroup, which ranks in the 61st percentile statewide. The clearest improvement priorities are attendance, sixth-grade ELA, and seventh-grade math and science.
