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.

At Park Rapids high school there are only a few sports. I wish this would extend. There are also some very good teacher, but there are also teachers who sit you in front of a video and expect you to learn. I think my school is fairly safe and administration is run smoothly. I wish that lunches were a bit better, but that is the least of my concerns. Overall, Park Rapids is a very nice high school

I would say that Park Rapids is an interesting experience, that while not very diverse, due to the small town nature, is still a decent experience from my time here.
