GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Mills Park was an amazing school that really shaped my work ethic and view on education. Every teacher I had while I was there cared deeply for my success and future. They rarely doubted students' potential and pushed us to great heights. The reason the school didn't earn the 5th Star was because I saw several cases of bullying and cyber bullying in the school and they didn't always seem to do all they could to stop it from occurring. Overall Mills Park was a great school that helped build my character.
