Park City High School

Summary:

Park City High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the rural town of Park City, Montana, with a student population of just 102 as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school stands out for its low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been inconsistent, with test scores and rankings that generally lag behind nearby larger high schools like Billings West High School and Columbus High School.

Park City High School's student-teacher ratio is significantly lower than the surrounding schools, ranging from 11.3 to 13.4 over the past three years. However, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are below the state averages, with just 26.32% of students proficient in Mathematics, 31.58% in Reading, and 23.81% in Science in the current school year. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, from 47th out of 119 high schools in 2017-2018 to 94th out of 124 high schools in 2022-2023, with its rating ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5 on the SchoolDigger scale.

One interesting finding is the declining racial diversity at Park City High School, with the percentage of White students increasing from 93.14% in 2020-2021 to 88.24% in the current school year. The school's small size and rural location may contribute to its academic performance, and factors like the socioeconomic status of the student population could also play a role. Overall, while Park City High School stands out for its low student-teacher ratio, its inconsistent academic outcomes suggest the need for further investigation into the factors shaping the school's educational outcomes.

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.
