Report on Boundary & Feasibility Study

The Provo City School District recently heard the results of the Boundary & Feasibility Study. This comprehensive study is intended to guide future planning by analyzing demographic trends, enrollment patterns, and geographic considerations across the district. It provides a clear picture of how population shifts, housing trends and school choice are influencing student distribution—and how that affects school utilization, population and boundaries moving forward.

The study process involved analyzing school boundaries and comparing enrollment data to student residence locations. This revealed trends in school choice, boundary overlap, and transportation flow. The spatial analysis helped identify areas experiencing imbalances such as overcrowding, under-enrollment, or mismatches between residential growth and school capacity.

The results show that while some areas of the district are seeing growth in student populations, others have stable or slightly declining numbers. This imbalance can affect class sizes, transportation needs, and resource allocation. The study also highlighted how program offerings and family preferences contribute to students attending schools outside their neighborhood zones.

As part of the study, the consulting firm presented potential boundary adjustments for each school. These adjustments aimed to bring the utilization of every school building to approximately 80% capacity, ensuring a more balanced use of facilities across the district. These recommendations are a starting point for the discussion around school boundaries, and not a final decision. The school board will continue analyzing this and other data in the near future. Potential next steps include further evaluation of school boundaries, program offerings, and transportation routes. The boards goal is to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities while using facilities and resources efficiently and sustainably.
