Provo District

Provo District includes 20 schools serving students from preschool through grade 12 in the Provo, Utah area: 13 elementary schools, two middle schools, three traditional high schools, and two alternative schools. The district serves approximately 13,630 students and ranks near the middle of Utah districts overall, but school performance varies widely.

The strongest elementary schools are Edgemont School, Wasatch School, Canyon Crest School, and Rock Canyon School, all ranking in roughly the top 15% of Utah elementary schools. Centennial Middle is considerably stronger than Shoreline Middle School, especially in achievement and attendance. Among high schools, Timpview High stands out, combining the district’s strongest academic results with a 94.1% graduation rate, a 3.6% dropout rate, and low chronic absenteeism. Provo High has a higher graduation rate than the state average but notably weaker mathematics results.

The schools needing the closest attention are Franklin School, Spring Creek School, Timpanogos School, and Independence High. Franklin reports very low proficiency and high absenteeism, while Independence has the district’s lowest graduation rate and highest dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. Several other schools, including Amelia Earhart School, also rank below the district’s stronger performers. Slate Mountain School and Provo eSchool are very small alternative programs and should be compared separately from traditional schools. Parents should also note that some reported scores are ranges or minimums rather than exact figures, and older spending or graduation data may not describe current conditions.
