Summary:
The city of Park City, Montana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Park City School (an elementary school), Park City High School, and Park City 7-8 (a middle school). While the schools share a common location, they exhibit varying performance, demographics, and resource allocation.
Among the three schools, Park City School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 166th out of 332 Montana elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Park City High School and Park City 7-8 have lower state-wide rankings, at 94th out of 124 high schools and 118th out of 187 middle schools, respectively, with both schools receiving 1- and 2-star ratings. This declining performance across grade levels suggests an area for the Park City Elementary and Park City High School districts to address.
Regarding resource allocation, Park City High School stands out with the highest per-student spending at $11,099, significantly more than the $7,847 spent per student at the other two schools. This imbalance in funding may be an area for the district to examine, especially given the lower performance of the high school compared to the elementary school. Additionally, the student population across all three schools is predominantly white, with limited racial diversity, which could be an opportunity for the district to explore and address.
