Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 22 schools offering Advanced Placement (47 AP courses district-wide), a 256.7:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 37.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 51.9% White, 36.8% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Provo Eschool, with a diversity index of 63.7/100.
Its largest campus is Timpview High, enrolling 2,300 students (17% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Slate Canyon, at 15 students, a 153x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Timpview High accounts for 16.4% of all Provo District student enrollment
That concentration means Provo District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Provo District school enrollment varies 153× across entities
Provo District school enrollment ranges from 15 students (lowest) to 2,300 students (highest), a spread of 2,285 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Provo District student-counselor ratio is 257:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Provo District is typically wider than the Provo District-aggregate figure suggests.
Provo District chronic absenteeism rate is 37.3% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Provo District has 22 schools, including 1 high, 9 combined, 2 middle, 10 elementary. Total enrollment is 14,007 students.
