Summary:
ZIP code 84660 includes 15 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including nine elementary schools, two middle schools, two high schools, and two alternative schools. About 12,387 students attend these schools, most of which are part of Nebo District; American Leadership Academy operates its own district. School quality varies considerably, with several strong elementary options, weaker middle-school results, and generally high graduation rates but low high-school mathematics proficiency.
The strongest elementary choices based on current rankings and assessment results are East Meadows School, Sierra Bonita Elementary, and Canyon School. They rank in the 83rd, 77th, and 70th state percentiles, respectively. East Meadows School stands out for broad achievement across English, mathematics, and science, as well as strong recent improvement. Canyon School has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the group at 21.2%, while Sierra Bonita Elementary performs very well academically despite higher absenteeism. Other elementary schools, including Riverview School, Rees School, Park School, Brockbank School, Larsen School, and Spanish Oaks School, rank closer to the state average.
The two middle schools are the main area of concern: Diamond Fork Middle ranks in the 32nd percentile, and Spanish Fork Junior High ranks in the 21st percentile; both also have chronic absenteeism above 35%. Among high schools, Maple Mountain High has the strongest graduation and dropout results, while Spanish Fork High has shown the greatest recent ranking and test-score improvement. American Leadership Academy offers smaller classes and favorable attendance. Landmark High, an alternative school, serves a different student population and reports the highest absenteeism and lowest graduation rate. Overall, parents should pay particular attention to attendance, middle-grade performance, and mathematics results when comparing schools.
