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.

Parker junior high school is definitely an interesting school. Some of the students are fine, but most of them are very rude and bad. For example, daily there are around 6-7 students going to lunch detention. And around every 2 weeks there's new people physically fighting. Overall the teaching is pretty good and they have many programs that give great opportunities.

I would like to start by saying this school is highly political. It's about who you know. I put my children in this school in the middle of 7th grade and they have been targets every since. I would just say if your children didn't start in this school, placing them here would be a mistake. My childr...
