Summary

Diamond Fork Middle is a public middle school located in Spanish Fork, Utah, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,077 students. It is part of the Nebo School District, which is ranked 50 out of 93 districts in Utah and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 3 school years, Diamond Fork Middle has ranked between 98-122 out of 216 Utah middle schools, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school performs better for Hispanic and Low Socio-Economic Status students compared to other student groups. However, it has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 25.2% in 2022-2023 to 35.7% in 2023-2024. Additionally, Diamond Fork Middle's test scores are generally below the Nebo District and Utah state averages across various assessments.

When compared to nearby middle schools in the Nebo District, such as Maple Grove Middle and Spring Canyon Middle, Diamond Fork Middle generally performs worse on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which has increased from 19.31% in 2021-2022 to 27.76% in 2023-2024, may contribute to its lower academic performance. Additionally, with 1,077 students, Diamond Fork Middle is one of the larger middle schools in the area, potentially straining resources and contributing to its lower performance.
