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.

Personally I had a horrible experience with the administration and student culture, however, the sports, fine arts and education saved a lot of that sour taste. I'd like for there to be less racism and sexism when it comes to that school, have students taught how to be better people.

Parkland is a good school, especially for it people think of it. Teachers, APs, and administrators are helpful. Could work a bit more on communication.
