How good is Trailside Elementary?

Trailside Elementary earns a 10 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, the top score, and tests well above the Utah average. Class sizes run about 14 students per teacher, among the lightest ratios in the state, and the school benefits from the same high per-student funding as the rest of the district.

Trailside also formalized its identity in 2025, adopting the elk as its official mascot, a nod to the animals that graze on the campus grounds, along with new school colors. Its building was among those rebuilt in the district’s recent construction program, so students here are in newer facilities.

Where Trailside Elementary feeds

Because Park City runs a single middle school, the Trailside progression is short and predictable:

• Elementary: Trailside Elementary, grades K to 6
• Middle: Ecker Hill Middle School, grades 7 to 8
• High: Park City High School, grades 9 to 12

The 2025 district realignment closed Treasure Mountain Junior High and moved 6th grade back to the elementary schools, so some older listings still show a K to 5 span. Confirm the current configuration with the Park City School District. You can also explore the wider market on our Park City area page.
