What the reported data says about Independence High
Independence High is a public high school serving grades 05–12 in PROVO. It is one of 22 current school records connected to Provo District. NCES reports 276 students for 2024–25.
Among 197 high schools in Utah with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 459 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 35th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 13.9:1, below the Utah median of 20.4:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Hispanic or Latino (52.5%) and White (38%). English learners represent 18.2% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 24.6%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to computer science. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
