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.

Park Crossing is a very overly strict school, students aren't allowed to bring lunch, have backpacks, communicate with other students and not even properly with the faculty.

When hosting pep rallys and activities for sports it was fun. However, there wasn't much involvement when it came to doing activities for all the kids. It was honestly very boring and doesn't really give students a high school life. I haven't learned much when it comes to surviving after high school or becoming college ready. I was hoping they would take time out of class time to sit us down and teach us but they didn't. At all.

Honestly, don't go to this school unless you have to. You can find some very nice teachers and students, but overall I would not recommend this establishment for your student.

Was a teacher at this school, and to use an old country adage: you can put makeup on a pig, but it's still a pig. the facility is nice because it's brand new, but the "students" will make short work of that - vandalism, writing on all the walls, breaking desks, leaving trash everywhere. Three years...
