Summary:
ZIP code 84601 has five public elementary schools in Provo, serving grades PK–6 or K–6 and enrolling about 2,734 students in the Provo District. The schools share the same district, which ranks near the middle statewide, but their school-level results differ considerably. Enrollment is largest at Lakeview School, Timpanogos School, and Sunset View School, each serving more than 600 students.
Lakeview School is the clear academic leader, ranking in the 68th statewide percentile and posting the strongest average results in English language arts, mathematics, and science. It also improved sharply from the previous year. Sunset View School ranks next, at the 37th percentile, with notable mathematics improvement and solid fourth-grade mathematics and science results, though its performance is uneven. Amelia Earhart School has the lowest student–teacher ratio, at 17.5, and relatively low absenteeism, but its academic ranking fell to the 24th percentile, with sixth-grade mathematics a particular concern.
Timpanogos School ranks in the 18th percentile and has consistently low results, especially in English language arts and science. Franklin School has the greatest challenges: it ranks in the 3rd percentile, reports the highest chronic absenteeism at 40.2%, and has very low proficiency across subjects. Across the area, chronic absenteeism exceeds the district rate at every school, although Lakeview and Amelia Earhart are closest to the state rate. Parents comparing schools should weigh Lakeview’s strongest achievement, Sunset View’s improving mathematics, Amelia Earhart’s staffing ratio, and the significant academic and attendance needs at Timpanogos and Franklin.
