Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 84663 include seven schools serving about 3,718 students, with most offering PK–6 and Reagan Academy serving grades K–8; six schools are part of the Nebo District. Overall performance varies considerably, with two schools standing out academically, several showing improvement, and three schools needing more attention in specific grades and subjects.
Reagan Academy is the strongest overall school, ranking 121st of 563 statewide and earning a four-star rating. It has the highest overall results in English language arts, mathematics, and science, along with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate and smallest student-teacher ratio in the group. Among traditional elementary schools, Sage Creek School is the leading option, ranking 154th and also earning four stars. It had especially strong mathematics results, including 81.3% proficiency in third grade, the highest individual score reported. Art City School and Cherry Creek School form a middle-performing group and both improved their rankings substantially over three years.
Brookside School, Westside School, and Meadow Brook School have the lowest current rankings. Their most important shared challenge is fifth grade, where English language arts and mathematics proficiency is often low; Westside and Meadow Brook also show notable fifth-grade science weaknesses. Attendance is another concern at these schools, particularly Brookside, which has the highest chronic absenteeism rate. Encouragingly, all six Nebo District schools improved their mathematics results from the prior year, and every school improved its three-year ranking. Parents comparing schools should weigh academic results alongside attendance, class-size indicators, grade-level strengths, and the needs of their individual child.
