Summary

Parley’s Park School is a K–5 elementary school serving about 400 students in Park City, a strong school community supported by the highly ranked Park City District. The school ranks 40th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 93rd percentile, and has earned a five-star rating. Its statewide ranking has improved significantly, from 198th in 2022–23 to 40th in 2025–26. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 14.2 to 1, although it is somewhat higher than nearby Jeremy Ranch School and McPolin School.

Recent test results show that students performed above Utah averages in every reported subject and grade. Results were especially strong in third-grade English language arts (80.0%), fifth-grade science (82.6%), fifth-grade English language arts (75.9%), and fifth-grade math (75.1%). The main area to watch is fourth grade: 61.5% of students were proficient in science, 63.1% in math, and 62.2% in English language arts. These results remain above state averages, but they trail district results and several nearby schools. Overall, the pattern suggests particularly strong outcomes in third and fifth grades, with less consistent performance in fourth grade.

Among nearby Park City schools, Jeremy Ranch School currently ranks higher at 10th statewide, while McPolin School ranks 32nd and Trailside School ranks 80th. Parley’s Park compares favorably with McPolin and Trailside in several third- and fifth-grade measures, but Jeremy Ranch is notably stronger in fourth grade. Attendance is the clearest concern: chronic absenteeism rose to 24.8% in 2024–25, above the district’s 16.4% and slightly above Utah’s 23.8%. Even so, Parley’s Park remains a high-performing school with a strong recent recovery and clear opportunities to improve fourth-grade consistency and attendance.
