Schools in Provo

Provo is served by Provo City School District, with elementary, middle, and high school feeders varying by neighborhood (Provo High and Timpview High are the two traditional high schools). Charter and private options are available throughout the city, and BYU's K–12 lab schools serve a smaller specialized population. School boundaries materially influence resale value in the east-bench and Edgemont neighborhoods.

School information and boundaries can change. Buyers should verify current school assignments, boundaries, programs, and other information directly with the applicable school district.
