District-Level NCES Analysis

Provo District operates 22 public schools serving 14,007 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Utah. The school portfolio breaks down into 10 elementary, 9 other, 2 middle, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 13,901 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Utah County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,633 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 39.2% local, 45.8% state, and 15.0% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $56,688 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 53/100, ranked #58 of 147 in Utah against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 22 schools offering Advanced Placement (47 AP courses district-wide), a 256.7:1 student-counselor ratio, 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.

Timpview High accounts for 16.5% of all Provo District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — 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 among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity — the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. 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.
