Summary:
Zip code 84664 has five public schools in the Nebo District, serving grades PK–9 across three elementary schools and two middle schools, with no high school or alternative school. Together, these schools enroll 4,424 students, and all rank above the statewide midpoint for their school level. The area’s strongest overall school is Maple Ridge School, while attendance is a concern across most of the local system.
Maple Ridge School is the clear standout, ranking in the 95th percentile among elementary schools and earning five stars. It led the local elementary schools in nearly every reported subject, including 83.3% proficiency in third-grade math and 79.8% in fourth-grade math. Hobble Creek School ranks lower but combines solid academic results with the area’s best attendance rate at 23.6% and the lowest student-teacher ratio. Mapleton School remains above average, especially in math, but its ranking fell from the 84th to the 66th percentile and many recent math and science results declined.
Among the middle schools, Maple Grove Middle has the stronger current ranking, at the 70th percentile, and notable science performance, including 74.3% proficiency in sixth grade. However, it has the highest chronic absenteeism rate, at 31.6%, and sixth-grade math is a weakness. Mapleton Junior High ranks at the 67th percentile but has shown the strongest long-term ranking improvement, rising from the 43rd percentile, with especially good eighth-grade science results. Its main academic concern is ninth-grade math. Overall, elementary math is a local strength, middle-school math needs attention, and attendance should be a priority throughout the area.
