Summary:
Park City District has one middle school, Ecker Hill Middle, serving grades 6–8 in Park City, Utah, with 666 students. It is a highly ranked school, placing 10th out of 217 Utah schools in 2025–2026, earning a five-star rating and ranking in the 95th percentile. Its district listing also places it 5th out of 92 schools. The school has remained among the state’s stronger middle schools in each of the last three reported years, improving from 26th place in 2024–2025 to 10th place most recently.
Academic results are strong across all grades and subjects, although some subjects stand out more than others. Science is the clearest strength, with about 73% of students proficient across grades 6–8, and results above 71% in every grade. English proficiency averaged about 66%, led by seventh grade at 72%. Mathematics averaged about 57%; sixth grade was the main area for improvement at 46.2%, while seventh and eighth grades were above 61%. Even the lowest result exceeded the Utah average, and Ecker Hill performed above the state in every reported subject and grade. Results also improved from the prior year in every comparable mathematics and science grade, with the largest gain in seventh-grade science.
For families considering the school, Ecker Hill combines strong academics with a 14.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio and relatively low reported free/reduced-price lunch participation of 17.12%. One issue worth monitoring is chronic absenteeism: 21.4% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, higher than the district’s 16.4% but lower than Utah’s 23.8%. Overall, the school appears to offer consistently high achievement, particularly in science and seventh-grade English, with targeted opportunities to strengthen sixth-grade mathematics and improve attendance. The reported per-student spending figure, $14,671, comes from 2018–2019 and is too old to serve as a current cost measure.
