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.

Its a small town so you are able to get to know everybody fairly well. The staff and students are all really nice and accepting.

I like that the teachers are nice and they help us a lot. The thing I did not like about the school is that the school lunch was always Mexican food. I would like to see the bullying rate go down a whole lot.

What I love about Parkston High School is that the teachers are very helpful. If a student doesn't understand a certain subject the teachers are more than happy to help this student to understand the material. Also, not only the school, but also the community is accepting and always willing to help with anything and everything.
