Summary

Provost School is a K–6 elementary school serving approximately 510 students in the Provo District at 629 S 1000 E in Provo, an area with many nearby elementary schools. The school ranks 255th of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it at the 55th percentile statewide and in the middle of its local comparison group. About 49% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, and the student-teacher ratio was 21.2 to 1.

Academic results are mixed, with notable differences by grade. In 2025–26, Provost’s overall proficiency averaged 45.9% in English language arts, 49.1% in mathematics, and 56.3% in science. Science and mathematics were above state averages, while ELA was about equal to the state. Fourth grade was the main concern: proficiency was 28.1% in ELA, 29.8% in mathematics, and 35.1% in science, all well below district results. Fifth grade was a clear strength, with 61.1% proficiency in ELA, 59.7% in mathematics, and 67.6% in science; sixth grade also generally performed well. Provost’s strongest distinguishing feature is its effectiveness with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 2nd out of 139 Utah schools for this subgroup. This is a comparative effectiveness measure, not an absolute proficiency rate.

Provost ranks behind nearby higher-performing schools such as Wasatch School at the 91st percentile and Rock Canyon School at the 85th percentile, but ahead of several local schools, including Sunset View School, Timpanogos School, and Spring Creek School. Chronic absenteeism is an important challenge: 28.4% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, above both district and state rates. The school’s ranking also fell from the 73rd percentile in 2024–25 to the 55th percentile in 2025–26. Improving attendance and fourth-grade achievement would be the clearest paths toward returning to Provost’s stronger recent performance.
