Summary

Trailside School is a K–5 elementary school in Park City, Utah, serving about 360 students in a strong suburban mountain community and the highly rated Park City District. The district ranks 5th of 92 Utah districts, placing it at the 95th percentile statewide. Trailside remains a strong school overall, ranking 80th of 563 Utah schools, in the 86th percentile, with four stars in 2025–2026. However, this is a decline from its five-star, 94th-percentile performance in 2024–2025. Its 14.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio is favorable compared with many schools outside the district, although slightly less favorable than nearby Jeremy Ranch School, McPolin School, and Parley's Park School.

Academic results are strongest in the upper grades, especially fifth grade. Trailside’s fifth-grade proficiency was 75.0% in math and 82.5% in science, both above district averages and well above Utah results. Fourth-grade science was also strong at 75.8%. The main academic concern is third-grade English language arts, at 41.0%, below both the district and state; third-grade math was 53.6%, below the district average. Trailside’s ELA results were below the district average in every tested grade. Compared with nearby Park City schools, it trails Jeremy Ranch School most noticeably in third-grade ELA and math, but it exceeds that school in fifth-grade math and science. It also leads McPolin School in all three reported fifth-grade subjects.

Attendance is Trailside’s clearest operational challenge. Chronic absenteeism improved from 32.8% in 2021–2022 to 26.1% in 2024–2025, but it remains above the Park City District rate of 16.4% and exceeds Jeremy Ranch School at 13.5% and McPolin School at 19.5%. For context, nearby Midway School ranks 18th statewide and is particularly strong in early-grade math. Overall, Trailside is a high-performing school with impressive fifth-grade outcomes, while early-grade literacy, third-grade math, and attendance are the most important areas to watch.
