Summary:

The 84651 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Nebo School District. While the district is ranked 50 out of 93 in Utah and has a 2-star rating, some schools in the area stand out for their strong academic performance.

Taylor School and Park View School are the top-performing elementary schools, with high proficiency rates in math and science. In contrast, Barnett School and Wilson School struggle academically, particularly in math and science. The data suggests a potential correlation between poverty, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance.

While Payson High School has lower test scores compared to state averages, it stands out with an 88.8% 4-year graduation rate, higher than the district and state. However, the school also has a concerning 9.4% dropout rate. Across all schools, chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, with rates consistently higher than the state average.
