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.

This is my daughter's 2nd year attending and it has been a great experience so far. She always comes home and tells me what she's learned and is excited to show me.

My children went here in the 80's-90's and now my grandchildren do. Mountain Park has always had a special warmth and spirit about it. I've never met a teacher there whom I did not appreciate. Brian Walker is a wonderful principal who makes school more fun for the teachers and students.
