Best Public Schools in Park City, KS

Summary:

The city of Park City, Kansas has only one public elementary school, Chisholm Trail Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Wichita school district. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average test scores in certain subjects and grade levels compared to the Wichita district and the state of Kansas, it is ranked relatively low statewide, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chisholm Trail Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 377 out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 468 out of 653 in 2023-2024. The school's test scores are mixed, with some grade levels performing above the Wichita and Kansas averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while others are below average. Additionally, the school has a high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 66.43%, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families.

Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $12,368 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average, the data suggests that Chisholm Trail Elementary is not a standout school in the region. The declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance indicate that the school may have room for improvement in ensuring consistent academic achievement across all grade levels and addressing the unique challenges faced by its high-poverty student population.
