Summary
Provo Peaks School is a public pre-K–6 elementary school in central Provo, Utah, serving 549 students in the Provo District. For 2025–2026, it ranked 213th of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 62nd statewide percentile and earning three stars. This is an above-average statewide result and generally stronger than most nearby schools, although Wasatch School and Rock Canyon School were local leaders.
Academically, mathematics is the clearest strength. In grades 3–6, proficiency was above both district and state averages in every tested grade, with especially strong fifth-grade results: 57.4%, compared with 50.0% districtwide and 45.0% statewide. Science is another positive area, averaging about 57.3% across grades 4–6 and improving gradually in recent years. English language arts is more uneven: third-grade proficiency was 31.4%, well below district and state results, while grades 4–6 were all above both comparison groups. The school’s overall performance is stronger than that of nearby Westridge School? Actually, Westridge ranked higher at the 66th percentile, so Provo Peaks trails it slightly but remains ahead of Provost School, Sunset View School, and several others.
Attendance is the biggest concern. Chronic absenteeism was 36.9% in 2024–2025—an improvement from 47.4% in 2021–2022, but still higher than nearly every nearby school, including Wasatch at 16.9%, Westridge School at 24.8%, and Rock Canyon at 24.7%. About 51.91% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, placing Provo Peaks between the area’s higher-need schools and its more affluent top performers. A favorable 15.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio—better than most nearby schools—may support the school’s solid results. Overall, the most promising priorities are strengthening third-grade literacy, reducing absenteeism, and narrowing the gap with Wasatch and Rock Canyon.
