Park City School

Q: Is Park City School a good school?

Park City School ranks 166 th of 332 Montana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Park City School is an elementary school serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 174 students in Park City, Montana. The school is part of the Park City Elementary District, which is ranked 170 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Park City School has some strengths, such as its high science proficiency compared to the district and state averages, its overall academic performance has been mixed. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school outperformed the district and state in science but underperformed in mathematics and reading. This decline in performance is concerning, as the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 4 stars to a low of 1 star. One potential advantage of Park City School is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, which is lower than most nearby schools like Big Sky Elementary and Fromberg School.

An interesting point of differentiation for Park City School is its significantly higher percentage of white students (89.66%) compared to the more diverse student populations at surrounding schools in the Billings Elementary, Fromberg K-12, and other nearby districts. This lack of diversity could be an area of concern and potential focus for the Park City Elementary District as they work to ensure an inclusive and equitable education for all students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
