What this school's NCES data tells you
Amelia Earhart School reports 377 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 25.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 16.8:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 27% below the Utah state mean of 23.1:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark.

Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 49.2% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 76% above the Utah average and 5% below the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 41.9% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Provo District spends $13,633 per pupil district-wide, above the Utah average of $12,354 and below the national average of $19,490.
