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.

It's an average high school. Nothing more, nothing less. I feel like teachers aren't as strict as they should be on students they are more laid back which allows students to think they have more power and get to come to classes late or even skip them

Overall, the teachers at Park Ridge High School are excellent and helpful. They prepare us for college well and our school is more competitive and advanced than most. The only faults our school has is that our events or activities such as prom are poor, underfunded, and boring.

Every teacher has a different teaching style and some better than others. There are some teachers who make is seen as if they have no respect for the students or don't care at all. There are some teachers who are willing to do a lot for the students at the same time.
