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.

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.

I loved my experience at Parchment High School. From my experiences, everybody gets along really well. There's not a lot of bullying or negativity that goes on, and everybody is mostly friends.
