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.

We have had a great experience at Park. Mrs. Matthews is now retired so the first comment is now irrelevant. The new principle is wonderful and the whole school is great. My daughter has ADHD and the counselor was a great help to me and the pediatrician helping with her diagnosis and treatment.
