How good is Canyon Elementary?

Canyon Elementary earns a 5 out of 10 GreatSchools rating and tests near or above the Utah average, with roughly 48 percent of students proficient in math and 44 percent in reading on recent state testing. Class sizes run about 21 students per teacher. The school also runs a gifted and talented program, which can be a draw for buyers looking for extra challenge in the early grades.

As always, a summary number is only a starting point at the elementary level. Canyon sits on the east side of town toward the canyon, so it draws from a mix of settled neighborhoods and newer homes nearer the foothills.

Where Canyon Elementary feeds

Nebo School District recently moved to a middle school model, pulling sixth grade up and splitting the secondary years, so treat any pairing as a starting point. Under the current pattern, the progression runs:

• Elementary: Canyon Elementary, grades K to 5
• Middle: Diamond Fork Middle, grades 6 to 7
• Junior high: Spanish Fork Junior High, grades 8 to 9
• High: Spanish Fork High School or Maple Mountain High School, grades 10 to 12, by area

Which high school your address feeds depends on where you land, since Spanish Fork is split between the Dons of Spanish Fork High and the Golden Eagles of Maple Mountain High.
