Provo High

Summary:

Provo High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Provo, Utah, with a total enrollment of 1,988 students. The school is part of the Provo District, which is ranked 39 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Provo High has a diverse student population, with 52.16% White and 38.38% Hispanic students, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments, is generally lower than the Provo District and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, Provo High's 10th-grade proficiency rates were 36.2% in English Language Arts, 17.6% in Mathematics, and 22.4% in Science, compared to the Provo District's 46.3%, 26.5%, and 27.4%, respectively, and the state's 44.6%, 27.5%, and 33.8%. Additionally, Provo High's statewide ranking among Utah high schools has declined over the years, from 65th out of 120 schools in 2013-2014 to 113th out of 138 schools in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Provo High's performance on the Utah Aspire Plus assessments varies significantly among different student subgroups. For example, in 2023-2024, Provo High's Hispanic students ranked 59th out of 72 Utah high schools, while its White students ranked 70th out of 123 schools. Its English Language Learner students ranked 17th out of 25 schools, and its low socioeconomic status students ranked 76th out of 93 schools. These disparities suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by these subgroups. Provo High also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 26.74% to 37.02% over the past three school years, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
