Park City High School ranked fifth best in Utah - Park Record

Park City High School (PCHS). Second highest ranked Utah public high school, after Skyline High School in Salt Lake City (PCHS is fifth highest when three private and/or charter high schools are included). There are two hundred twenty public high schools in Utah.

Margaret and I have been very impressed with PCHS which two of our grandchildren (Phoebe and Jim's kids) attended. Interestingly, PCHS enrollment is declining as boomer purchased Park City home prices soar rendering it more difficult for families with school age children to live in Park City.

Two other grandkids (Jake's and Stephanie's kids) attend Utah's highest ranked public high school, Skyline, in Salt Lake City.

Our youngest grandchild, Jake's and Stephanie's daughter, attends a private school in Salt Lake City: Carden Memorial School.

There are some very good school options in Utah if you can afford to live in the right 'hood or afford private school.

Grok: Utah performs strongly in K-12 outcomes relative to other states, often ranking in the top 5–15 despite lower per-pupil spending and larger class sizes. It excels in efficiency, math performance, and certain test scores, while maintaining solid (but not elite) graduation rates.
