About Nebo School District
Zip code 84653 in Nebo, Utah is served by Nebo School District for public school enrollment. The district covers grades Pre-K – 12th. This page provides a data-driven overview of Nebo School District’s funding levels, size, rating, and what families should know before enrolling or making a housing decision in this area.
Understanding the 4/10 Rating
With a rating of 4/10 (below average), Nebo School District ranks among Utah’s below average-rated school systems. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Utah’s RISE and Utah Aspire Plus assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Utah is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Nebo School District carries a below-average rating, with reading and math proficiency rates below typical Utah benchmarks on state assessments. A below-average score reflects test performance relative to other districts — not necessarily teaching quality or school culture, and some of these districts have schools with strong communities and dedicated staff. Families should research specific school quality, visit in person, and ask about available programs. Also ask about open enrollment and magnet options that may offer alternatives to the default attendance-zone assignment.
Enrollment for Families in Zip Code 84653
Children in zip code 84653 are assigned to Nebo School District for public school enrollment, covering grades Pre-K – 12th.

Two homes on opposite ends of the same zip code may be assigned to different schools within the same district.
To confirm your specific school assignments, contact Nebo School District at (801)354-7400 or visit www.nebo.edu. Typical enrollment documents include proof of address, a government-issued birth certificate, immunization records, and any existing school records or IEP documentation.
