Summary:
The elementary schools located in the city of Park City, Utah, serve a diverse student population across 10 schools, including a mix of public and public charter institutions that educate students from pre-K through 8th grade. The district as a whole is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools ranking among the best in the state.
At the top of the district are Jeremy Ranch School and Mcpolin School, which consistently achieve high test scores and 5-star ratings. Weilenmann School of Discovery stands out for its diverse student population, with over 15% of students being non-white, in contrast to the more homogeneous demographics of other top-performing schools. While the Park City School District as a whole excels, there is a notable disparity in performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools, suggesting a need for more equitable outcomes across the district.
Funding and spending per student vary widely, from $8,323 at Weilenmann to $19,031 at Mcpolin, and it's unclear how these differences impact student outcomes. The district's strong overall performance is likely due to a combination of factors, including low student-teacher ratios and a relatively affluent student population, but the data also highlights the unique challenges faced by more diverse and economically disadvantaged schools within the Weilenmann School of Discovery and South Summit District.
