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.

Park High prepared me for my next step in life, college. I am attending Iowa State University in the fall and look forward to it. The only suggestion I really have in regards to Park is that the facility could use an update and a big overhaul. We seem to be bursting at the seams with the ratio of space to students. We make it work as it is but could really use am overhaul.

Park High School is the only high school I went to during my four years, but I didn't regret going. I was zoned for a different high school in my district, but I really wanted to go to Park since some of my friends were going. I met some of my closest friends there, and the IB courses they provide are rigorous enough for my knowledge-seeking mind.

IB courses at Park High School are challenging but get you ready for college. Many teachers are understanding that their students have lives outside of school and are good at planning out and pacing classes.

I went here when it was only 10-12 grade. I LOVED it though. It was the best school I ever attended. We had great electives and great after-school activities to be involved in. Everything about this school was amazing: teachers, students, classes and even lunch. Park is great and I wouldn't have wan...
